Single-nucleotide polymorphism SNP density can be predicted by the presence of microsatellites: AT microsatellites in particular are potent predictors of SNP density, with long (AT)(n) repeat tracts tending to be found in regions of significantly reduced SNP density and low GC content. There are variations between huma... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=513091 |
Single-nucleotide polymorphism SNPs were used initially for matching a forensic DNA sample to a suspect but it has been phased out with development of STR-based DNA fingerprinting techniques. Current next-generation-sequencing (NGS) techniques may allow for better use of SNP genotyping in a forensic application so long... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=513091 |
Single-nucleotide polymorphism SNP's can be mutations, such as deletions, which can inhibit or promote enzymatic activity; such change in enzymatic activity can lead to decreased rates of drug metabolism. The association of a wide range of human diseases like cancer, infectious diseases (AIDS, leprosy, hepatitis, etc.)... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=513091 |
Single-nucleotide polymorphism The rs### standard is that which has been adopted by dbSNP and uses the prefix "rs", for "reference SNP", followed by a unique and arbitrary number. SNPs are frequently referred to by their dbSNP rs number, as in the examples above. The Human Genome Variation Society (HGVS) uses a standar... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=513091 |
Secondary mirror A secondary mirror (or secondary) is the second deflecting or focusing mirror element in a reflecting telescope. Light gathered by the primary mirror is directed towards a focal point typically past the location of the secondary. Secondary mirrors in the form of an optically flat "diagonal mirror" are ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=514650 |
Electron excitation is the transfer of a bound electron to a more energetic, but still bound state. This can be done by photoexcitation (PE), where the electron absorbs a photon and gains all its energy or by electrical excitation (EE), where the electron receives energy from another, energetic electron. Within a semic... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=516593 |
Philip Sheppard Professor Philip MacDonald Sheppard, F.R.S. (27 July 1921 – 17 October 1976) was a British geneticist and lepidopterist. He made advances in ecological and population genetics in lepidopterans, pulmonate land snails and humans. In medical genetics, he worked with Sir Cyril Clarke on Rh disease. He was b... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=518069 |
Mellish (crater) Mellish is a crater on Mars, located in the planet's southern hemisphere at . It measures 104.95 kilometers in diameter. The crater was named by IAU's Working Group for Planetary System Nomenclature in 1994, after American amateur astronomer John E. Mellish from St. Charles in Illinois. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=519539 |
Harold Robert Steacy Harold "Hal" Robert Steacy (June 7, 1923 – April 7, 2012) was a Canadian mineralogist who was the curator of the Canadian National Mineral Collection at the Geological Survey of Canada in Ottawa. The mineral steacyite is named for him. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=519742 |
Colostrum (known colloquially as beestings, bisnings or first milk) is the first form of milk produced by the mammary glands of mammals (including many humans) immediately following delivery of the newborn. Most species will generate colostrum just prior to giving birth. contains antibodies to protect the newborn again... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=525722 |
Colostrum In preterm infants some IgA may be absorbed through the intestinal epithelium and enter the blood stream though there is very little uptake in full term babies. This is due to the early "closure" of the intestinal epithelium to large molecule uptake in humans unlike the case in cattle which continue to uptake... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=525722 |
Colostrum They receive no passive transfer of immunity via the placenta before birth, so any antibodies that they need have to be ingested (unless supplied by injection or other artificial means). The ingested antibodies are absorbed from the intestine of the neonate. The newborn animal must receive colostrum within 6 ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=525722 |
Colostrum In most dairy cow herds, the calves are separated from their mothers soon after birth and fed colostrum from a bottle. Although many claims of health benefits have been made for colostrum consumption in adults, until recently there have been limited randomized trials to support these assertions. It is probabl... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=525722 |
Colostrum Before the development of antibiotics, colostrum was the main source of immunoglobulins used to fight bacteria. In fact, when Albert Sabin made his first oral vaccine against polio, the immunoglobulin he used came from bovine colostrum. When antibiotics began to appear, interest in colostrum waned, but, now t... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=525722 |
