  2. DNA footprinting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNA_footprinting

    The DNA template labeled at the 3' or 5' end, depending on the location of the binding site(s). Labels that can be used are: radioactivity and fluorescence.Radioactivity has been traditionally used to label DNA fragments for footprinting analysis, as the method was originally developed from the Maxam-Gilbert chemical sequencing technique.

  3. Toxicology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toxicology

    A toxicologist working in a lab (United States, 2008)Toxicology is a scientific discipline, overlapping with biology, chemistry, pharmacology, and medicine, that involves the study of the adverse effects of chemical substances on living organisms [1] and the practice of diagnosing and treating exposures to toxins and toxicants.

  4. Sequence (medicine) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sequence_(medicine)

    In medicine, a sequence is a series of ordered consequences due to a single cause. [1] It differs from a syndrome in that seriality is more predictable: if A causes B, and B causes C, and C causes D, then D would not be seen if C is not seen. However, in less formal contexts, the term "syndrome" is sometimes used instead of sequence.Examples ...

  5. Clinical metagenomic sequencing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Clinical_metagenomic_sequencing

    The sequencing platform to be used is chosen depending on different factors such as laboratory's research objectives, personal experience and skill levels. So far, the Illumina MiSeq system has proven to be the most commonly used platform for infectious disease research, pathogen surveillance, and pathogen discovery in research and public ...

  6. Variants of PCR - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variants_of_PCR

    It can also be used to obtain sequence of an RNA transcript, which may aid the determination of the transcription start and termination sites (by RACE-PCR) and facilitate mapping of the location of exons and introns in a gene sequence. Two-tailed PCR uses a single primer that binds to a microRNA target with both 3' and 5' ends, known as ...

  7. Molecular Inversion Probe - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_Inversion_Probe

    If the identification of the captured genomic target is performed using array-based hybridization approaches, the internal region may optionally contain a probe-specific tag sequence that uniquely identifies the given probe as well as a tag-release site, which, similar to the probe-release site, is also a restriction site.

  8. Degradome sequencing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Degradome_sequencing

    Degradome sequencing has also been used to study the role of RNA decay pathways in cancer [9] and identify new types of non-coding RNAs. [8] Ultimately, degradome sequencing is a powerful tool for the comprehensive analysis of RNA degradation with a variety of applications in biological research as well as medicine.

  9. Infection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infection

    An infection is the invasion of tissues by pathogens, their multiplication, and the reaction of host tissues to the infectious agent and the toxins they produce. [1] An infectious disease, also known as a transmissible disease or communicable disease, is an illness resulting from an infection.
