  2. Genome size - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genome_size

    Genome size ranges (in base pairs) of various life forms. Genome size is the total amount of DNA contained within one copy of a single complete genome.It is typically measured in terms of mass in picograms (trillionths or 10 −12 of a gram, abbreviated pg) or less frequently in daltons, or as the total number of nucleotide base pairs, usually in megabases (millions of base pairs, abbreviated ...

    20–80 nm – thickness of cell wall in Gram-positive bacteria [74] 20 nm – thickness of bacterial flagellum [75] 22 nm – the average half-pitch of a memory cell manufactured circa 2011–2012; 22 nm – smallest feature size of production microprocessors in September 2009 [76] 25 nm – diameter of a microtubule

  4. Nucleic acid quantitation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nucleic_acid_quantitation

    For pure DNA, A 260/280 is widely considered ~1.8 but has been argued to translate - due to numeric errors in the original Warburg paper - into a mix of 60% protein and 40% DNA. [6] The ratio for pure RNA A 260/280 is ~2.0. These ratios are commonly used to assess the amount of protein contamination that is left from the nucleic acid isolation ...

  5. Long QT syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_QT_syndrome

    Long QT syndrome (LQTS) is a condition affecting repolarization (relaxing) of the heart after a heartbeat, giving rise to an abnormally lengthy QT interval. [7] It results in an increased risk of an irregular heartbeat which can result in fainting, drowning, seizures, or sudden death. [1]

  6. Quart - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quart

    The quart (symbol: qt) [1] is a unit of volume equal to a quarter of a gallon. Three kinds of quarts are currently used: the liquid quart and dry quart of the US customary system and the imperial quart of the British imperial system .

  7. Coverage (genetics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coverage_(genetics)

    In genetics, coverage is one of several measures of the depth or completeness of DNA sequencing, and is more specifically expressed in any of the following terms: Sequence coverage (or depth) is the number of unique reads that include a given nucleotide in the reconstructed sequence.

  8. Quantitative trait locus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantitative_trait_locus

    A quantitative trait locus (QTL) is a locus (section of DNA) that correlates with variation of a quantitative trait in the phenotype of a population of organisms. [1] QTLs are mapped by identifying which molecular markers (such as SNPs or AFLPs) correlate with an observed trait.

  9. Nucleic acid test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nucleic_acid_test

    Rotavirus. A nucleic acid test (NAT) is a technique used to detect a particular nucleic acid sequence and thus usually to detect and identify a particular species or subspecies of organism, often a virus or bacterium that acts as a pathogen in blood, tissue, urine, etc. NATs differ from other tests in that they detect genetic materials (RNA or DNA) rather than antigens or antibodies.
