- Company Profile:
Autonomously replicating extra-chromosomal circular DNA molecules, distinct from the normal bacterial genome and nonessential for cell survival under nonselective conditions. Some plasmids are capable of integrating into the host genome. A number of artificially constructed plasmids are used as cloning vectors..
Industry:Biology
Analysis of biological material by detection of the light-absorbing or fluorescing properties of cells or subcellular fractions (i.e., chromosomes) passing in a narrow stream through a laser beam. An absorbance or fluorescence profile of the sample is produced. Automated sorting devices, used to fractionate samples, sort successive droplets of the analyzed stream into different fractions depending on the fluorescence emitted by each droplet..
Industry:Biology
Different ways of combining a gene's exons to make variants of the complete protein.
Industry:Biology
One gene that causes many different physical traits such as multiple disease symptoms..
Industry:Biology
Use of flow cytometry to analyze and separate chromosomes according to their DNA content..
Industry:Biology
Any of a class of 20 molecules that are combined to form proteins in living things. The sequence of amino acids in a protein and hence protein function are determined by the genetic code..
Industry:Biology
The potential of a cell to develop into more than one type of mature cell, depending on environment..
Industry:Biology
A physical mapping approach that uses fluorescein tags to detect hybridization of probes with metaphase chromosomes and with the less-condensed somatic interphase chromatin..
Industry:Biology
An increase in the number of copies of a specific DNA fragment; can be in vivo or in vitro.
