Glossary Term
The complete genomic content of an organism, and possibly the full DNA sequence of that organism. It is contained in a set of chromosomes in eukaryotes, a single chromosome in bacteria, or a DNA or RNA molecule in viruses.
Glossary Term
The determination of the DNA sequence of an individual.
Indicators
A broad-spectrum aminoglycoside antibiotic produced by fermentation of Micromonospora purpurea or M. echinospora. Gentamicin is an antibiotic complex consisting of four major (C1, C1a, C2, and C2a) and several minor components. This agent irreversibly binds to the bacterial 30S ribosomal subunit. Specifically, this antibiotic is lodged between 16S rRNA and S12 protein within the 30S subunit. This leads to interference with translational initiation complex, misreading of mRNA, thereby hampering protein synthesis and resulting in bactericidal effect. Aminoglycosides are mostly ineffective against anaerobic bacteria, fungi and viruses.
Glossary Term
The n-th root of the multiple products of n values, as contrasted with the normally understood arithmetic mean.
Glossary Term
Any mutation that appears in the gametes and which will therefore be transmitted to the progeny with some frequency.
Tests
The determination of the amount of DNA from any member of the genus Giardia in a biological sample.
Tests
The determination of the globotriaosylceramide present in a sample.
Tests
The determination of the globotriaosylsphingosine present in a sample.
Tests
The determination of the amount of globulin protein present in a sample.
Tests
The determination of the amount of glutamine present in a sample.
Tests
The determination of the amount of glutathione-s-transferase present in a sample.
Glossary Term
The covalent chemical or biochemical addition of carbohydrate or glycosyl groups to other chemicals, by glycosyl transferases.
