Glossary Term
An established procedure to be followed in carrying out a given operation or in a given situation.
Glossary Term
The substitution of some value for a missing data point or a missing component of a data point.
Glossary Term
A measure of the likelihood that a significance test will detect an effect or difference in a sample if the effect or difference exists in the entire population from which that sample was taken.
Glossary Term
A test used to determine the statistical significance of an observation.
Glossary Term
The liquid lying above a liquid, solid or semi-solid residue, which is separated by crystallization, precipitation or centrifugation of a biological sample.
Glossary Term
A method for converting an individual score into a standard form. While similar to a z-score, t-score is used when the conversion is made without knowledge of the population standard deviation and mean.
Glossary Term
A stretch of repetitive nucleotide sequences (TTAGGG repeats in humans) found at both ends of each chromatid arm that plays a role in chromosome stability during replication.
Glossary Term
The lowest limit at which something becomes detectable or relevant.
Glossary Term
A genetic process in which single-stranded RNA with base sequence complementary to a region of plus strand DNA is synthesized by DNA-dependent RNA polymerases. Following the binding of RNA polymerase on DNA promoter regions, the RNA product is synthesized in a 5' to 3' direction, elongating RNA along the DNA strand as the polymerase proceeds, accompanied by unwinding and rewinding of the DNA template.
Glossary Term
The complete set of RNA transcripts that are produced by the genome, under specific circumstances or in a specific cell.
Glossary Term
A class of short adaptor RNAs that transfers a specific amino acid to a growing polypeptide chain at the ribosomal site of protein synthesis during translation. Each transfer RNA comprises a three-nucleotide sequence that is complementary to the triplet nucleotide coding sequence of an mRNA, conferring specificity to the amino acid being incorporated into the assembling protein.
Glossary Term
The act or process of rendering from one language into another.
