Disease caused by infection with organisms of the genus <i>Brucella</i>.
Industry:Biotechnology
Disease-indexed organisms have been assayed for the presence of known diseases according to standard testing procedures.
Industry:Biotechnology
Disorder in which the immune systems of affected individuals produce antibodies against molecules that are normally produced by those individuals (called self antigens).
Industry:Biotechnology
Disruption of cells or DNA molecules by high frequency sound waves. a.k.a. ultrasonication.
Industry:Biotechnology
Division and transfer of a portion or inoculum of a culture to fresh medium. Sometimes used to denote the adding of fresh liquid to a suspension culture.
Industry:Biotechnology
DNA of undefined sequence content which is added to the transforming (plasmid) DNA used in physical DNA-transfer procedures. This additional DNA increases the efficiency of transformation in electroporation and chemically mediated DNA-delivery systems. The mechanism responsible for this effect is not known.
Industry:Biotechnology
DNA polymerase that provides primers for the DNA polymerization. Unlike RNA polymerase, DNA polymerase is unable to initiate the <i>de novo</i> synthesis of a polynucleotide chain. DNA polymerase can only add nucleotides to a free 3´ hydroxyl group at the end of a pre-existing chain. A short oligonucleotide, known as a primer, is therefore needed to supply such a hydroxyl group for the initiation of DNA synthesis.
Industry:Biotechnology
DNA repair processes that correct mismatched base pairs.
Industry:Biotechnology
DNA repair processes that involve the removal of a damaged or incorrect segment of DNA and its replacement by the synthesis of a new strand using the complementary strand of DNA as template.
Industry:Biotechnology
DNA sequences located between genes; they comprise a large percentage of a genome and have no known function.
