Glossary Term
Any method that extracts and purifies DNA from biological samples, which can include the proper handling of biological samples prior to nucleic acid isolation, the separation of DNA from the rest of the components in the samples, and the storage of the DNA isolates.

Indicators
A nonessential amino acid. Glutamine can donate the ammonia on its side chain to the formation of urea (for eventual excretion by the kidneys) and to purines (necessary for the synthesis of nucleic acids). Glutamic acid-to-glutamine conversion, in which an ammonia group is added to glutamic acid (catalyzed by glutamine synthase), is of central importance in the regulation of toxic levels of ammonia in the body. This agent is a substrate for the production of both excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmitters (glutamate and GABA) and is also an important source of energy for the nervous system. Glutamine may become a conditionally essential amino acid during certain catabolic states.
Tests
A gonorrhea test looks for signs of a gonorrhea bacterial infection in a sample of your urine (pee) or saliva. Gonorrhea is one of the most common sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Anyone can get gonorrhea if they have vaginal, oral, or anal sex with someone who has the infection.
Tests
An HIV viral load test measures the amount of HIV in a sample of your blood. HIV stands for human immunodeficiency virus. The test looks for genetic material from the virus in your blood. These tests are called molecular tests or nucleic acid amplification tests (NAAT or NAT). There are several types of NAAT tests. A PCR test is one type of NAAT that may be used to find HIV.
Tests
Quantitative measurement of HIV-1 RNA to stage infection and monitor therapy.
Tests
The determination of the amount of Human bocavirus nucleic acid present in a sample.
Tests
The determination of the amount of Human coronavirus OC43 nucleic acid present in a sample.
Tests
The determination of the amount of Human parainfluenza virus 3 nucleic acid present in a sample.
