Glossary Term
The act of hindering or obstructing or impeding.
Glossary Term
The difference between the 3rd and 1st quartiles is called the interquartile range and it is used as a measure of variability (dispersion).
Glossary Term
Non-coding, intervening sequences of DNA that are transcribed, but are removed from within the primary gene transcript and rapidly degraded during maturation of messenger RNA.
Glossary Term
The act of turning inside out, upside down, or end-for-end.
Glossary Term
The weighted concentration of ions in solutions.
Glossary Term
An isomer of propyl alcohol with antibacterial properties. Although the exact mechanism of isopropanol's disinfecting action is not known, it might kill cells by denaturing cell proteins and DNA, interfering with cellular metabolism, and dissolving cell lipo-protein membranes. Isopropanol is used in soaps and lotions as an antiseptic.
Glossary Term
The chromosomal morphology and number in somatic cells of an individual.
Glossary Term
A nonparametric test for finding if three or more independent samples come from populations having the same distribution. It is a nonparametric version of ANOVA.
Glossary Term
Major class of enzymes that catalyze the linking together of two molecules (EC class 6) for example DNA ligases that link two fragments of DNA by forming a phosphodiester bond.
Glossary Term
A molecule of RNA 200-17000 nucleotides in length that is transcribed by non-protein coding areas of DNA. These ribonucleotides may play a role in a variety of biological processes.
Glossary Term
The formula to calculate body surface area as described by John D. Current. It is mathematically defined as: BSA (m^2) = 1321 + 0.3433 x Weight(g)
Glossary Term
A genetic variation where gain, loss, or exchange of DNA results in monoallelic loss of function mutations in a diploid cell. In the context of tumor suppressor genes, where a single copy is sufficient for functionality, loss of function for the second allele is associated with tumorigenesis.
