Company Profile:
Established in October 1945 with the objective of eliminating hunger and improving nutrition and standards of living by increasing agricultural productivity, FAO coordinates the efforts of governments and technical agencies in programs for developing agriculture, forestry, fisheries, and land and ...
Chemical union of two or more molecules of the same kind such as glucose or nucleotides to form a new compound (starch or nucleic acid) having the same elements in the same proportions but a higher molecular weight and different physical properties.
Industry:Biotechnology
Chemicals that transfer alkyl (methyl, ethyl, etc.) groups to the bases in DNA.
Industry:Biotechnology
Chromosomal fragment homologous to an endogenote and donated to a merozygote.
Industry:Biotechnology
Chromosome fragment lacking a centromere.
Industry:Biotechnology
Chromosome reproduction during interphase. 4-chromatid chromosomes (diplochromosomes) are seen during this phase.
Industry:Biotechnology
Chromosomes that are connected with the determination of sex: X and Y chromosomes in mammals; W and Z chromosomes in birds.
Industry:Biotechnology
Chromosomes that occur in pairs and are generally similar in size and shape: one comes from the male parent and the other from the female. Such chromosomes contain the same linear array of genes.
Industry:Biotechnology
Cloning vectors that contain components derived from both phage chromosomes and plasmids.
Industry:Biotechnology
Coarse aggregate material made from expanded mica having a high cation exchange capacity and high water-holding capacity and used as a rooting medium and a soil additive.
Industry:Biotechnology
Collection of cloned DNA fragments that ideally includes all the genetic information of an organism. If the original source of the DNA is the genomic DNA from an organism, then it is called a genomic library; if the DNA is from cDNA made by enzymatic copying of RNA, then the library includes representative fragments from all genes that were being expressed at the time the RNA was sampled, and would be called a cDNA library. a.k.a. gene bank; library; clone bank; bank; library.
