  2. Cot analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cot_analysis

    C 0 t analysis, a technique based on the principles of DNA reassociation kinetics, is a biochemical technique that measures how much repetitive DNA is in a DNA sample such as a genome. [1] It is used to study genome structure and organization and has also been used to simplify the sequencing of genomes that contain large amounts of repetitive ...

  3. Relative fluorescence units - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relative_fluorescence_units

    The RFU measurements are used, for DNA profiling, in a real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Two common methods for detection of products in real-time PCR are: (1) non-specific fluorescent dyes that intercalate with any double-stranded DNA, and (2) sequence-specific DNA probes consisting of oligonucleotides that are labeled with a fluorescent reporter which permits detection only after ...

  4. SWI/SNF - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SWI/SNF

    In molecular biology, SWI/SNF (SWItch/Sucrose Non-Fermentable), [1] [2] is a subfamily of ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling complexes, which is found in eukaryotes.In other words, it is a group of proteins that associate to remodel the way DNA is packaged.

  5. Laboratory specimen - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laboratory_specimen

    A laboratory specimen is sometimes a biological specimen of a medical patient's tissue, fluids, or other samples used for laboratory analysis to assist in differential diagnosis or staging of a disease process. These specimens are often the most reliable method of diagnosis, depending on the ailment.

  6. Nucleic acid quantitation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nucleic_acid_quantitation

    For a pure RNA sample, the A 230:260:280 should be around 1:2:1, and for a pure DNA sample, the A 230:260:280 should be around 1:1.8:1. [9] Absorption at 330 nm and higher indicates particulates contaminating the solution, causing scattering of light in the visible range. The value in a pure nucleic acid sample should be zero.

  7. Biological specimen - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biological_specimen

    Biological specimens in an elementary school science lab. A biological specimen (also called a biospecimen) is a biological laboratory specimen held by a biorepository for research. Such a specimen would be taken by sampling so as to be representative of any other specimen taken from the source of the specimen. When biological specimens are ...

  8. Site-specific recombination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Site-specific_recombination

    In this case the recombination sites are slightly asymmetric, which allows the enzyme to tell apart the left and right ends of the site. When generating products, left ends are always joined to the right ends of their partner sites, and vice versa. This causes different recombination hybrid sites to be reconstituted in the recombination products.

  9. BLOSUM - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BLOSUM

    Positive and zero values have been highlighted. In bioinformatics, the BLOSUM (BLOcks SUbstitution Matrix) matrix is a substitution matrix used for sequence alignment of proteins. BLOSUM matrices are used to score alignments between evolutionarily divergent protein sequences. They are based on local alignments.
