Glossary Term
The chromosomal morphology and number in somatic cells of an individual.
Glossary Term
A nonparametric test for finding if three or more independent samples come from populations having the same distribution. It is a nonparametric version of ANOVA.
Glossary Term
Major class of enzymes that catalyze the linking together of two molecules (EC class 6) for example DNA ligases that link two fragments of DNA by forming a phosphodiester bond.
Glossary Term
The lowest concentration of an analyte that can be quantified with acceptable accuracy and precision under stated conditions — distinct from, and higher than, the limit of detection.
Glossary Term
The formula to calculate body surface area as described by John D. Current. It is mathematically defined as: BSA (m^2) = 1321 + 0.3433 x Weight(g)
Glossary Term
A genetic variation where gain, loss, or exchange of DNA results in monoallelic loss of function mutations in a diploid cell. In the context of tumor suppressor genes, where a single copy is sufficient for functionality, loss of function for the second allele is associated with tumorigenesis.
Glossary Term
The value which has an equal number of values greater and less than it.
Glossary Term
A class of RNA molecule containing protein-coding information in its nucleotide sequence that can be translated into the amino acid sequence of a protein.
Glossary Term
The quantity and identity of all of the low molecular weight molecules in a biological entity or sample that are products of or participants in various metabolic processes.
Glossary Term
Metabolomics is the study of the biological metabolic profile of a cellular specimen in a specific environment at an isolated timepoint. This discipline depicts the physiological states of cells and organisms by focusing on carbohydrates, lipids, and other metabolites. Several analytical techniques are utilized to quantify the metabolic content of specimens such as mass spectrometry and electrophoretic applications.
Glossary Term
The covalent chemical or biochemical addition of a methyl group(s) to a compound. (NCI)
Glossary Term
A sequence of single-stranded RNA, that is 20-25 nucleotides in length, which is transcribed from DNA but is not translated into a protein. This nucleic acid may regulate the transcription or translation of other genes.
