Glossary Term
A purification method that binds nucleic acids to a silica membrane in a spin column through centrifugation or vacuum. It is a common manual and mid-throughput format with well-understood consumable logistics, but is less automation-friendly than magnetic bead approaches.
Glossary Term
A relatively less common point mutation in which a purine is exchanged for a pyrimidine or a pyrimidine is exchanged for a purine.
Glossary Term
A measure of the variability in a sample or population. It is calculated as the mean squared deviation (MSD) of the individual values from their common mean. In calculating the MSD, the divisor n is commonly used for a population variance and the divisor n-1 for a sample variance.
