Indicators
A type of antinuclear antibody that specifically targets double stranded DNA; while these antibodies are sometimes detectable in multiple different autoimmune disorders, their presence is generally considered highly specific for systemic lupus erythematosus.
Tests
The determination of the amount of DNA from any member of the genus Aspergillus present in a sample.
For professionals
Indicators
This gene is involved in apoptosis, DNA repair and cell cycle regulation.
Indicators
This gene is involved in cell cycle checkpoints and DNA recombination.
Glossary Term
Initiation of DNA base excision repair (BER) involves a DNA glycosylase that binds the altered deoxynucleoside in an extrahelical position and catalyzes cleavage of the base-sugar bond. Subsequently, an AP endonuclease or AP lyase activity incises the abasic site, followed by short-patch gap-filling, excision of the base-free sugar-phosphate residue, and ligation.
Pcr Terms
Glossary Term
The paired nucleotides in a DNA or RNA sequence.

Research record from Blood Cancer J, 2026-06-27. PMID 42365009.
Glossary Term
A storage facility of biospecimens that includes tissue samples, fluids, and molecular derivatives such as DNA, RNA, and proteins. The biorepository has stringent guidelines regarding the standardized collection, handling, storage, and documentation of biological specimens.

Tests
The determination of the amount of Blastocystis hominis DNA in a biological sample.
For professionals
Indicators
This gene plays a role in DNA unwinding and recombination-mediated telomere lengthening.
Tests
BRCA is short for "breast cancer gene." A BRCA genetic test uses a sample of your blood, saliva (spit), or cells from inside of your cheek to look for changes in your BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes. Genes are parts of DNA in your cells that you inherit from your parents. You inherit two copies of each gene, one from each parent. Genes carry information that controls what you look like and how your body works.
For everyone & professionals
Indicators
This gene plays a role in cell cycle control, regulation of transcription and the maintenance of genomic stability. It is also involved in the inhibition of mammary cell growth.
