Enzymes that exhibit endonuclease activity at a specific short nucleotide sequence to cleave strands of DNA.
Tests
A method for virus culture and detection in which a virus sample is mixed with a susceptible cell type and then centrifuged into a single layer of cells. Following a short incubation, viral growth is determined using immunological detection techniques.
Tests
A TP53 genetic test uses a sample of your blood, bone marrow, or tissue from a tumor to look for changes in the tumor protein 53 gene, or TP53 for short. Changes in your genes are also called gene variants or mutations.
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
Short random nucleotide sequences that are ligated to each primer molecule during amplification of a nucleotide sample during library preparation to act as a unique tag. Their use helps to identify PCR duplicates in sequencing data.
