NUCLEOTIDE SEQUENCING [5 records]

Record 1 2020-12-23

English

Subject field(s)
  • Scientific Research Methods
  • Genetics
CONT

Pyrosequencing is a method of DNA sequencing that differs from Sanger sequencing, in that it relies on the detection of pyrophosphate release and the generation of light on nucleotide incorporation, rather than chain termination with dideoxynucleotides.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Méthodes de recherche scientifique
  • Génétique
CONT

Le pyroséquençage est une technique de séquençage de l'ADN qui permet d’effectuer un séquençage rapide et à moindre coût qu'un séquençage par la méthode de Sanger. En effet, cette technique ne nécessite pas de clonage (donc gain de temps et d'argent), et permet une lecture directe de la séquence obtenue après le séquençage.

Record 2 2012-05-01

English

Subject field(s)
  • Genetics
DEF

Enzyme of the hydrolase class that catalyze the hydrolytic cleavage of polynucleotides.

OBS

Examples are deoxyribonuclease, endodeoxyribonuclease, and endoribonuclease. Some members of this group are important in the metabolism and repair of DNA and RNA.

OBS

A specific class of deoxyribonucleases known as restriction endonucleases cleaves DNA at specific nucleotide sequences. These enzymes protect the cells from foreign DNA, but they do not act on the host DNA. They have been used extensively in DNA sequencing and recombinant DNA technology.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Génétique
DEF

Enzyme qui clive les liaisons internes d'un acide nucléique. [Définition normalisée par l'AFNOR et reproduite avec son autorisation.]

OBS

Elle peut être spécifique d'un ARN (endoribonucléase) ou d'un ADN (endodésoxyribonucléase) simple ou double brin. [Observation reproduite avec l'autorisation de l'AFNOR.]

OBS

endonucléase : terme normalisé par l'AFNOR.

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Genética
DEF

Cada una de las enzimas de la clase hidrolasas, que catalizan la escición al azar de uniones fosfodiester de los ácidos nucleicos, en posiciones interiores de la molécula.

Record 3 1991-01-31

English

Subject field(s)
  • Genetics
CONT

We report a simple and reliable protocol for nucleotide sequencing using the Sanger dideoxy technique on linearized double-stranded DNA molecules with specific oligonucleotide primers. The method is demonstrated for restriction fragments cloned into the plasmid vectors pSP64 and pSP65 using two vector-specific primers, the M13 reverse primer and a new SP6 primer, flanking the multiple cloning site.

OBS

Term and context extracted from the BIOSIS data base.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Génétique
OBS

reverse transcription = transcription inverse; reverse mutation = mutation inverse.

LKB Macrophor DNA/RNA Sequencing System : For sequencing of DNA and RNA. New separation techniques involve the generation of a set of oligonucleotides having one end in common and differing in length in steps of one nucleotide, followed by electrophoretic separation of the oligonucleotides in a denaturing polyacrylamide gel.
