The twist is the number of helical turns in the DNA and the writhe is the number of times the double helix crosses over on itself (these are the supercoils). Extra helical twists are positive and lead to positive supercoiling, while subtractive twisting causes negative supercoiling.
Negative-sense (3′-to-5′) viral RNA is complementary to the viral mRNA, thus a positive-sense RNA must be produced by an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase from it prior to translation. Like DNA, negative-sense RNA has a nucleotide sequence complementary to the mRNA that it encodes; also like DNA, this RNA cannot be translated into protein directly.
Some cases are confounded by either a cryptic translocation that is invisible on G-banded chromosome preparations, or a variant translocation involving another chromosome or chromosomes as well as the long arm of chromosomes 9 and 22. Other similar but truly Ph-negative conditions are considered CML-like myeloproliferative neoplasms. [3])

The degree to which individuals with XX male syndrome develop the male phenotype is variable, even among SRY-positive individuals. [21] Masculinization of SRY-positive XX males is believed to be dependent on which X chromosome is made inactivate. Typical XX females undergo X inactivation during which one copy of the X chromosome is silenced. It ...
“True” and “false” refer to the accuracy of the test, while “positive” and “negative” refer to the outcome you receive, says Geoffrey Baird, M.D., Ph.D., professor and chair of the ...
It consists of 22 autosomes plus one copy of the X chromosome and one copy of the Y chromosome. It contains approximately 3.1 billion base pairs (3.1 Gb or 3.1 x 10 9 bp). [ 6 ] This represents the size of a composite genome based on data from multiple individuals but it is a good indication of the typical amount of DNA in a haploid set of ...
This type of association is known as “negative interference”. When the coefficient of coincidence is substantially greater than 1, it is known as “high negative interference". High negative interference has been reported in bacteriophage T4 (e.g. [2] [3]) and in human immunodeficiency virus infections. [4] [5]
