  2. Centriole - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centriole

    3D rendering of centrioles showing the triplets. In cell biology a centriole is a cylindrical organelle composed mainly of a protein called tubulin. [1] Centrioles are found in most eukaryotic cells, but are not present in conifers (), flowering plants (angiosperms) and most fungi, and are only present in the male gametes of charophytes, bryophytes, seedless vascular plants, cycads, and Ginkgo.

  3. Centroid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centroid

    Find the centroids of these two rectangles by drawing the diagonals. Draw a line joining the centroids. The centroid of the shape must lie on this line . Divide the shape into two other rectangles, as shown in fig 3. Find the centroids of these two rectangles by drawing the diagonals. Draw a line joining the centroids.

  4. List of centroids - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_centroids

    The following is a list of centroids of various two-dimensional and three-dimensional objects. The centroid of an object X {\displaystyle X} in n {\displaystyle n} - dimensional space is the intersection of all hyperplanes that divide X {\displaystyle X} into two parts of equal moment about the hyperplane.

  5. Centrosome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centrosome

    In cell biology, the centrosome (Latin centrum 'center' + Greek sōma 'body') (archaically cytocentre [1]) is an organelle that serves as the main microtubule organizing center (MTOC) of the animal cell, as well as a regulator of cell-cycle progression. The centrosome provides structure for the cell.

  6. Cluster analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cluster_analysis

    This is a very important concept in bioinformatics, and evolutionary biology in general. See evolution by gene duplication. High-throughput genotyping platforms Clustering algorithms are used to automatically assign genotypes. [56] Human genetic clustering The similarity of genetic data is used in clustering to infer population structures.

  7. k-mer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K-mer

    A method of visualizing k-mers, the k-mer spectrum, shows the multiplicity of each k-mer in a sequence versus the number of k-mers with that multiplicity. [6] The number of modes in a k-mer spectrum for a species's genome varies, with most species having a unimodal distribution. [7]

  8. Biochemical cascade - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biochemical_cascade

    The cadherin pathway also has an important function in survival and proliferation because it regulates the concentration of cytoplasmic β-catenin. When β-catenin is free in the cytoplasm, normally it is degraded, however if the Wnt signalling is activated, β-catenin degradation is inhibited and it is translocated to the nucleus where it ...

  9. Cell adhesion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_adhesion

    Schematic of cell adhesion. Cell adhesion is the process by which cells interact and attach to neighbouring cells through specialised molecules of the cell surface. This process can occur either through direct contact between cell surfaces such as cell junctions or indirect interaction, where cells attach to surrounding extracellular matrix, a gel-like structure containing molecules released ...
