From 1907 to 1911 he studied natural ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=25008180 |
Primer dimer A primer dimer (PD) is a potential by-product in the polymerase chain reaction (PCR), a common biotechnological method. As its name implies, a PD consists of primer molecules that have attached (hybridized) to each other because of strings of complementary bases in the primers. As a result, the DNA polymer... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=25008405 |
Primer dimer In quantitative PCR, PDs may be detected by melting curve analysis with intercalating dyes, such as SYBR Green I, a nonspecific dye for detection of double-stranded DNA. Because they usually consist of short sequences, the PDs denature at lower temperature than the target sequence and hence can be distingu... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=25008405 |
Primer dimer room temperature, such as during the preparation of the reaction mixture. Although DNA polymerases used in PCR are most active around 70 °C, they have some polymerizing activity also at lower temperatures, which can cause DNA synthesis from primers after annealing to each other. Several methods have been d... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=25008405 |
Primer dimer The small molecule is released from the enzyme by incubation of the reaction mixture for 10–15 minutes at 95 °C. Once the small molecule is released, the enzyme is activated. Another approach to prevent or reduce PD formation is by modifying the primers so that annealing with themselves or each other does ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=25008405 |
Primer dimer The enzyme also possess inherent primer:template mismatch discrimination, resulting in additional selection against primer-dimers. While the methods above are designed to reduce PD formation, another approach aims to minimize signal generated from PDs in quantitative PCR. This approach is useful as long as... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=25008405 |
Arthur Sidney Olliff (21 October 1865 – 29 December 1895), was an Australian taxonomist who was active as Government entomologist in New South Wales. He came to Australia in December 1844 to work at the Australian Museum. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=25018615 |
Charles M. Wheatley Charles Moore Wheatley (16 March 1822 Ongar, England – 6 May 1882 Phoenixville, Pennsylvania) was a noted English-American miner and palaeontologist of the 19th century. He is noted for identifying several new fossilized species, some of which bear his name, and for his connection to the Port Kenned... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=25021648 |
Bruce H. Tiffney is an American paleobotanist, professor, and the dean of the College of Creative Studies at the University of California, Santa Barbara.

NGC 7459 is a twin spiral galaxy of magnitude 15.2 located within the constellation Pisces. It was discovered by Lewis Swift in 1886 with a 16-inch refractor. The galactic nuclei are only 15 arcsec apart. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=25025373 |
TEMP (meteorology) TEMP (upper air soundings) is a set of World Meteorological Organization (WMO) alphanumerical codes used for reporting weather observations of the upper regions of the atmosphere made by weather balloons released from the surface level (either at land or at sea).
