  2. Cap analysis of gene expression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cap_Analysis_of_Gene...

    Cap analysis of gene expression (CAGE) is a gene expression technique used in molecular biology to produce a snapshot of the 5′ end of the messenger RNA population in a biological sample (the transcriptome).

  3. CT scan - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CT_scan

    A computed tomography scan (CT scan), formerly called computed axial tomography scan (CAT scan), is a medical imaging technique used to obtain detailed internal images of the body. [2] The personnel that perform CT scans are called radiographers or radiology technologists.

  4. Catabolite activator protein - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catabolite_activator_protein

    Catabolite activator protein (CAP; also known as cAMP receptor protein, CRP) is a trans-acting transcriptional activator that exists as a homodimer in solution. Each subunit of CAP is composed of a ligand -binding domain at the N-terminus (CAP N , residues 1–138) and a DNA-binding domain at the C-terminus (DBD, residues 139–209).

  5. Five-prime cap - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five-prime_cap

    In molecular biology, the five-prime cap (5′ cap) is a specially altered nucleotide on the 5′ end of some primary transcripts such as precursor messenger RNA.This process, known as mRNA capping, is highly regulated and vital in the creation of stable and mature messenger RNA able to undergo translation during protein synthesis.

  7. Cap snatching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cap_snatching

    Transcription of mRNAs initiated by viral polymerase using cap snatching. The first step of transcription for some negative, single-stranded RNA viruses is cap snatching, in which the first 10 to 20 residues of a host cell RNA are removed (snatched) and used as the 5′ cap and primer to initiate the synthesis of the nascent viral mRNA. [1]

  8. Cap formation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cap_formation

    This phenomenon, the process of which is called cap formation, was discovered in 1971 on lymphocytes [1] and is a property of amoebae and all locomotory animal cells except sperm. The crosslinking is most easily achieved using a polyvalent antibody to a surface antigen on the cell.

  9. Molecular imaging - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_imaging

    Molecular imaging is a field of medical imaging that focuses on imaging molecules of medical interest within living patients. This is in contrast to conventional methods for obtaining molecular information from preserved tissue samples, such as histology.
