  2. Contig - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contig

    A contig (from contiguous) is a set of overlapping DNA segments that together represent a consensus region of DNA. [1] In bottom-up sequencing projects, a contig refers to overlapping sequence data (); [2] in top-down sequencing projects, contig refers to the overlapping clones that form a physical map of the genome that is used to guide sequencing and assembly. [3]

  3. Memory management unit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_management_unit

    With virtual memory, a contiguous range of virtual addresses can be mapped to several non-contiguous blocks of physical memory; this non-contiguous allocation is one of the benefits of paging. [8] [3] However, paged mapping causes another problem, internal fragmentation. This occurs when a program requests a block of memory that does not ...

  4. Page (computer memory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Page_(computer_memory)

    A page, memory page, or virtual page is a fixed-length contiguous block of virtual memory, described by a single entry in a page table.It is the smallest unit of data for memory management in an operating system that uses virtual memory.

  5. Memory cell (computing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_cell_(computing)

    The memory cell is the fundamental building block of computer memory. The memory cell is an electronic circuit that stores one bit of binary information and it must be set to store a logic 1 (high voltage level) and reset to store a logic 0 (low voltage level). Its value is maintained/stored until it is changed by the set/reset process.

  6. Neuroanatomy of memory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuroanatomy_of_memory

    An example of a skill requiring procedural memory would be playing a musical instrument, or driving a car or riding a bike. Individuals with transient global amnesia that have difficulty forming new memories and/or remembering old events may sometimes retain the ability to perform complex musical pieces, suggesting that procedural memory is ...

  7. Scaffolding (bioinformatics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scaffolding_(bioinformatics)

    This is an example of a scaffold. Scaffolding is a technique used in bioinformatics. It is defined as follows: [1] Link together a non-contiguous series of genomic sequences into a scaffold, consisting of sequences separated by gaps of known length. The sequences that are linked are typically contiguous sequences corresponding to read overlaps.

  8. Memory cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_cell

    Memory cells (motor cortex), found in the primary motor cortex (M1), a region located in the posterior portion of the frontal lobe of the brain. Memory B cell, an antibody producing cell; Memory T cell, an infection fighting cell

  9. Block diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Block_diagram

    A block diagram is a diagram of a system in which the principal parts or functions are represented by blocks connected by lines that show the relationships of the blocks. [1] They are heavily used in engineering in hardware design , electronic design , software design , and process flow diagrams .
