Glossary Term
The number of nucleotides successfully ordered from each side of a nucleic acid fragment obtained after the completion of a sequencing process.
Glossary Term
One of the three possible ways of reading a nucleotide sequence. As the genetic code is read in nonoverlapping triplets (codons) there are three possible ways of translating a sequence of nucleotides into a protein, each with a different starting point.
Glossary Term
Any natural or synthetic substance used in a chemical or biological reaction in order to produce, identify, or measure another substance.
Glossary Term
An application of PCR that measures the products generated during each cycle of the polymerase chain reaction process in order to determine the starting amount of template in the reaction.
Glossary Term
A PCR method that measures amplification as it happens using fluorescent reporters, so target quantity is estimated from the amplification curve rather than by post-run handling. qPCR is the workhorse format for viral load, pathogen detection, and GMO or food testing workflows.
