  2. Low copy number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low_copy_number

    Low Copy Number (LCN) is a DNA profiling technique developed by the UK Forensic Science Service (FSS) which has been in use since 1999. [1]In the United Kingdom use of the technique was suspended between 21 December 2007 and 14 January 2008 while the Crown Prosecution Service conducted a review into its use – this suspension has now been lifted.

  3. DNA supercoil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNA_supercoil

    DNA supercoiling is important for DNA packaging within all cells. Because the length of DNA can be thousands of times that of a cell, packaging this genetic material into the cell or nucleus (in eukaryotes) is a difficult feat. Supercoiling of DNA reduces the space and allows for DNA to be packaged.

  4. STR analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/STR_analysis

    From country to country, different STR-based DNA-profiling systems are in use. In North America, systems that amplify the CODIS 20 core loci are almost universal, whereas in the United Kingdom the DNA-17 17 loci system (which is compatible with The National DNA Database) is in use. Whichever system is used, many of the STR regions used are the ...

  5. N50, L50, and related statistics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N50,_L50,_and_related...

    The size of assembly B is 305 kbp, the N50 contig length drops to 50 kbp because 80 + 70 + 50 is greater than 50% of 305, and the L50 contig count is 3 contigs. This example illustrates that one can sometimes increase the N50 length simply by removing some of the shortest contigs or scaffolds from an assembly.

  6. Coverage (genetics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coverage_(genetics)

    The average coverage for a whole genome can be calculated from the length of the original genome (G), the number of reads (N), and the average read length (L) as /. For example, a hypothetical genome with 2,000 base pairs reconstructed from 8 reads with an average length of 500 nucleotides will have 2× redundancy.

  7. Hayflick limit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hayflick_limit

    The Hayflick limit, or Hayflick phenomenon, is the number of times a normal somatic, differentiated human cell population will divide before cell division stops. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] The concept of the Hayflick limit was advanced by American anatomist Leonard Hayflick in 1961, [ 3 ] at the Wistar Institute in Philadelphia , Pennsylvania.

  9. Scaffolding (bioinformatics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scaffolding_(bioinformatics)

    This is an example of a scaffold. Scaffolding is a technique used in bioinformatics.It is defined as follows: [1] Link together a non-contiguous series of genomic sequences into a scaffold, consisting of sequences separated by gaps of known length.
