Glossary Term
The sequences of a gene that are present in the final, mature, spliced messenger RNA molecule from that gene.
Glossary Term
An Exonuclease is a hydrolase (nuclease) that specifically catalyzes the hydrolysis of terminal phosphodiester bonds of deoxyribonucleotide or ribonucleotide chains, releasing mononucleotides.
Glossary Term
A statistical method used for multiple testing corrections to control the expected proportion of false positives (Type I error) among rejected tests or hypotheses. It is less stringent than other multiple testing corrections and thereby, will allow a percentage of false positives.
Glossary Term
A test result that shows no evidence of a result or condition although it is present.
Glossary Term
Problem associated with the device incorrectly reporting that something has not been detected and may mislead the operator into not taking certain actions when action should be taken.
Glossary Term
A test result that shows evidence of a result or condition although it is not actually present.
Glossary Term
Problem associated with the device incorrectly reporting that something has been detected and may mislead the operator to take certain actions.
Glossary Term
A text-based format for storing a biological sequence that encodes the nucleotide calls as well as their quality scores. It is an extension of the FASTA format.
Glossary Term
The chemical preservation of a substance to maintain structural and/or molecular features of that substance as they exist in the living entity.
Glossary Term
A compound that preserves tissues and cells for microscopic study.
Glossary Term
Fluorescence is a luminescence (i.e., optical phenomenon) in cold bodies, in which a molecule absorbs a high-energy photon, and re-emits it as a lower-energy (longer-wavelength) photon. The energy difference between the absorbed and emitted photons ends up as molecular vibrations (heat).
Glossary Term
A class of dyes when excited by light of certain wavelengths, emit photons and become fluorescent. Fluorescence gives fluorochromes imaging characteristics and are used to label or stain biological structures.
