DNA
... there are four kinds of nucleotides, which are commonly referred to by the
identity of their bases. These are adenine (A), thymine (T), cytosine (C), ... bonds readily to only one other -- A to T and C to G -- so that the
identity of the base on one strand dictates the strength of the association; the ...
Glycome
... The glycome is the collective
identity of the entirety of carbohydrates in an organism .
The glycome may in ... other and with proteins.
An alternative definition is the collective
identity of the entirety of carbohydrates in a cell.
In those definitions, the word ...
Human
... sign language [9] [10] (pdf). Language can be central to the sense of
identity that unites cultures and ethnicities .
The invention of writing ... the preservation and development of technology and knowledge . Group
identity and acceptance can exert a powerful influence on individual behaviour, yet ...
Phenotype
... Phenotype is determined to some extent by genotype , or by the
identity of the alleles that an individual carries at one or more positions on ... by multiple genes and influenced by environmental factors. Thus, the
identity of one or a few known alleles does not always enable prediction of the ...
Chromatography
... medium through which they pass; such as paper , gelatin , or magnesium silicate gel.
Analytical chromatography is used to determine the
identity and concentration of molecules in a mixture. Preparative chromatography is used to purify larger quantities of a molecular species. Most of the ...
Glycomics
... was formed to follow the naming convention established by genomics (which deals with genes ) and proteomics (which deals with proteins ).
The
identity of the entirety of carbohydrates in an organism is thus collectively referred to as the glycome .
This area of research has to deal with an ...
HeLa
... growing in the same laboratory, interfering with biological research. The degree of contamination is unknown, because few researchers test the
identity or purity of already-established cell lines. It has been claimed that a substantial fraction of in vitro cell lines are actually HeLa, their ...
Homeobox
... the Hox genes , which are found in a special gene cluster, the HOX cluster . Hox genes function in patterning the body axis. Thus, by providing the
identity of particular body regions, Hox genes determine where limbs and other body segments will grow in a developing fetus or larva .

Prion

Although the
identity and general properties of prions are now well-understood, the mechanism of prion infection and replication remains mysterious. One idea (the "Protein ...
Proteome
... mass spectrometer has augmented proteomics. Mass mapping identifies a protein by cleaving it into short peptides and then deduces the protein's
identity by matching the observed peptide masses against a sequence database . Tandem mass spectrometry, on the other hand, can get sequence information ...
Virus classification
... Viruses can be classified in several ways, such as by their geometry, by whether they have envelopes, by the
identity of the host organism they can infect, by mode of transmission, or by the type of disease they cause. The most useful classification is probably by ...
