Viriome The viriome of a habitat or environment is the total virus content within it. A viriome may relate to the viruses that inhabit a multicellular organism as well as the phages that are residing inside bacteria and archaea. This term exists in contrast to the virome, which more commonly refers to the collection of... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=40388671 |
Botanical expedition A botanical expedition is a scientific journey or voyage designed to explore the flora of a particular region. The expedition could be specifically designed for exploring the flora, or this could have been a part of studying the natural history of the region. A naturalist or botanist was charged wi... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=40390498 |
Deinococcus geothermalis is a bacterium. It produces orange-pigmented colonies and has an optimum growth temperature of about to . It is extremely gamma radiation-resistant. Its type strain is AG-3a (= DSM 11300). A space mission called EXPOSE-R2 was launched on 24 July 2014 aboard the Russian Progress M-23M, and was a... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=40421916 |
Deinococcus murrayi is a bacterium. It produces orange-pigmented colonies and has an optimum growth temperature of about to . It is extremely gamma radiation-resistant. Its type strain is ALT-1b (= DSM 11303). | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=40421924 |
Thermotoga hypogea is a hyperthermophilic organism that is a member of the order Thermotogales. It is thermophilic, xylanolytic, glucose-fermenting, strictly anaerobic and rod-shaped. The type strain of T. hypogea is SEBR 7054 (= DSM 11164). | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=40421982 |
Recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) is a single tube, isothermal alternative to the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). By adding a reverse transcriptase enzyme to an RPA reaction it can detect RNA as well as DNA, without the need for a separate step to produce cDNA. Because it is isothermal, RPA can use much simpl... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=40427167 |
Recombinase polymerase amplification By using two opposing primers, much like PCR, if the target sequence is indeed present, an exponential DNA amplification reaction is initiated. No other sample manipulation such as thermal or chemical melting is required to initiate amplification. At optimal temperatures (37–42 °C),... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=40427167 |
Recombinase polymerase amplification RPA is one of several isothermal nucleic acid amplification techniques to be developed as a molecular diagnostic technique, frequently with the objective of simplifying the laboratory instrumentation required relative to PCR. A partial list of other isothermal amplification techniqu... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=40427167 |
Recombinase polymerase amplification Compared to PCR, the guidelines for primer and probe design for RPA are less established, and may take a certain degree of trial and error, although recent results indicate that standard PCR primers can work as well. The general principle of a discrete amplicon bounded by a forward ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=40427167 |
Recombinase polymerase amplification This makes it difficult to judge the merits of these techniques independently from the claims of the manufacturers, inventors, or proponents. Furthermore, performance characteristics of any amplification technique are difficult to decouple from primer design: a "good" primer set for... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=40427167 |
Cheminformatics toolkits are software development kits that allow cheminformaticians to develop custom computer applications for use in virtual screening, chemical database mining, and structure-activity studies.
