  2. Nucleic acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nucleic_acid

    Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a nucleic acid containing the genetic instructions used in the development and functioning of all known living organisms. The chemical DNA was discovered in 1869, but its role in genetic inheritance was not demonstrated until 1943. The DNA segments that carry this genetic information are called genes.

  3. DNADynamo - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNADynamo

    DNADynamo is a general purpose DNA and Protein sequence analysis package that can carry out most of the functions required by a standard research molecular biology laboratory DNA and Protein Sequence viewing, editing and annotating; Contig assembly and chromatogram editing including comparison to a reference sequence to identify mutations

  4. SAMtools - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SAMtools

    SAMtools is a set of utilities for interacting with and post-processing short DNA sequence read alignments in the SAM (Sequence Alignment/Map), BAM (Binary Alignment/Map) and CRAM formats, written by Heng Li. These files are generated as output by short read aligners like BWA.

  5. Nucleic acid quantitation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nucleic_acid_quantitation

    The blank solution should be the same pH and of a similar ionic strength as the sample solution. Example: using water for the blank measurement for samples dissolved in TE may result in low 260/230 ratios. A260/A280 Residual phenol or other reagent associated with the extraction protocol. A very low concentration (< 10 ng/μL) of nucleic acid.

  6. Exome sequencing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exome_sequencing

    It consists of two steps: the first step is to select only the subset of DNA that encodes proteins. These regions are known as exons—humans have about 180,000 exons, constituting about 1% of the human genome, or approximately 30 million base pairs. The second step is to sequence the exonic DNA using any high-throughput DNA sequencing ...

  8. Nucleic acid thermodynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nucleic_acid_thermodynamics

    For DNA oligonucleotides, i.e. short sequences of DNA, the thermodynamics of hybridization can be accurately described as a two-state process. In this approximation one neglects the possibility of intermediate partial binding states in the formation of a double strand state from two single stranded oligonucleotides.

  9. Reverse genetics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse_genetics

    Diagram illustrating the development process of avian flu vaccine by reverse genetics techniques. Reverse genetics is a method in molecular genetics that is used to help understand the function(s) of a gene by analysing the phenotypic effects caused by genetically engineering specific nucleic acid sequences within the gene.
