Oligonucleotide — A small DNA molecule composed of a few nucleotide bases. The term oligonucleotide applies similarly to RNA. * * * A compound made up of the condensation of a small number (typically fewer than 20) of nucleotides. Cf.:polynucleotide. * * *… … Medical dictionary
Allele specific oligonucleotide — An Allele Specific Oligonucleotide (or ASO) is a short piece of synthetic DNA complementary to the sequence of a variable target DNA. It acts as a probe for the presence of the target in a Southern blot assay or, more commonly, in the simpler Dot … Wikipedia
Molecular Inversion Probe — (MIP)[1] belongs to the class of Capture by Circularization molecular techniques [1] for performing genomic partitioning, a process through which one captures and enriches specific regions of the genome[2]. Probes used in this technique are… … Wikipedia
Multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification — (MLPA)[1] is a variation of the polymerase chain reaction that permits multiple targets to be amplified with only a single primer pair[1]. Each probe consists of a two oligonucleotides which recognise adjacent target sites on the DNA. One probe… … Wikipedia
SNP genotyping — is the measurement of genetic variations of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) between members of a species. It is a form of genotyping, which is the measurement of more general genetic variation. SNPs are one of the most common types of… … Wikipedia
Oligomer restriction — (abbreviated OR) is a procedure to detect an altered DNA sequence in a genome. A labeled oligonucleotide probe is hybridized to a target DNA, and then treated with a restriction enzyme. If the probe exactly matches the target, the restriction… … Wikipedia
Chemical biology — is a scientific discipline spanning the fields of chemistry and biology that involves the application of chemical techniques and tools, often compounds produced through synthetic chemistry, to the study and manipulation of biological systems.… … Wikipedia
Microsatellite (genetics) — This article is about the DNA sequence. For small orbiting spacecraft, see Miniaturized satellite. Microsatellites, also known as Simple Sequence Repeats (SSRs) or short tandem repeats (STRs), are repeating sequences of 2 6 base pairs of DNA.[1]… … Wikipedia
C0343 RNA — The C0465 RNA is a bacterial non coding RNA of 74 nucleotides in length that is found between the ydaN and dbpA genes in the genomes of Escherichia coli and Shigella flexneri , Salmonella enterica and Salmonella typhimurium . This ncRNA was… … Wikipedia
C0465 RNA — The C0465 RNA is a bacterial non coding RNA of 78 nucleotides in length that is found between the tar and cheW genes in the genomes of Escherichia coli and Shigella flexneri . This ncRNA was originally identified in E.coli using high density… … Wikipedia
C0719 RNA — The C0465 RNA is a bacterial non coding RNA of 222 nucleotides in length that is found between the yghK and glcB genes in the genomes of Escherichia coli and Shigella flexneri . This non coding RNA was originally identified in E.coli using high… … Wikipedia
