  2. Sequence assembly - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sequence_assembly

    In bioinformatics, sequence assembly refers to aligning and merging fragments from a longer DNA sequence in order to reconstruct the original sequence. [1] This is needed as DNA sequencing technology might not be able to 'read' whole genomes in one go, but rather reads small pieces of between 20 and 30,000 bases, depending on the technology ...

  3. BioBrick - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BioBrick

    The 3A assembly method is the most commonly used, as its compatible with assembly Standard 10, Silver standard as well as the Freiburg standard. This assembly method involves two BioBrick parts and a destination plasmid. The destination plasmid contains a toxic (lethal) gene, to ease the selection of a correctly assembled plasmid.

  4. Flagellum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flagellum

    A flagellum (/ f l ə ˈ dʒ ɛ l əm /; pl.: flagella) (Latin for 'whip' or 'scourge') is a hair-like appendage that protrudes from certain plant and animal sperm cells, from fungal spores (), and from a wide range of microorganisms to provide motility.

  5. Assembly theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assembly_theory

    The 'assembly index' is the number of steps on a shortest path producing the object. [5] For such shortest path, the assembly space captures the minimal memory, in terms of the minimal number of operations necessary to construct an object based on objects that could have existed in its past. [5]

  6. Focal adhesion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Focal_adhesion

    The assembly of nascent focal adhesions is highly dependent on the process of retrograde actin flow. This is the phenomenon in a migrating cell where actin filaments polymerize at the leading edge and flow back towards the cell body.

  7. Biological illustration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biological_illustration

    Many details must be discussed between the artist and scientist before a final drawing can be completed, and additional preliminary drawings must be prepared in order to work out aesthetic details. Pen and ink (often a flex nib fountain pen) line illustrations are clean, crisp, clear, and inexpensive to produce, making them ideal for biological ...

  8. Macromolecular assembly - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macromolecular_assembly

    Scale: assembly is approx. 24 nm across. [2] In molecular biology, the term macromolecular assembly (MA) refers to massive chemical structures such as viruses and non-biologic nanoparticles, cellular organelles and membranes and ribosomes, etc. that are complex mixtures of polypeptide, polynucleotide, polysaccharide or other polymeric ...
