https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MT-TS2 | Mitochondrially encoded tRNA serine 2 (AGU/C) also known as MT-TS2 is a transfer RNA which in humans is encoded by the mitochondrial MT-TS2 gene.
MT-TS2 is a small 59 nucleotide RNA (human mitochondrial map position 12207-12265) that transfers the amino acid serine to a growing polypeptide chain at the ribosome site o... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Runs%20of%20homozygosity | Runs of Homozygosity (ROH) are contiguous lengths of homozygous genotypes that are present in an individual due to parents transmitting identical haplotypes to their offspring.
The potential of predicting or estimating individual autozygosity for a subpopulation is the proportion of the autosomal genome above a spec... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Designated%20verifier%20signature | A designated verifier signature is a signature scheme in which signatures can only be verified by a single, designated verifier, designated as part of the signature creation. Designated verifier signatures were first proposed in 1996 by Jakobsson Markus, Kazue Sako, and Russell Impagliazzo. Proposed as a way to combi... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Packet%20switching | In telecommunications, packet switching is a method of grouping data into packets that are transmitted over a digital network. Packets are made of a header and a payload. Data in the header is used by networking hardware to direct the packet to its destination, where the payload is extracted and used by an operating s... |
