Record 1 2012-07-11

English

Subject field(s)
  • Genetics
DEF

A type of transposable element that inactivates the genes in which it is inserted.

OBS

Insertion sequences (700-1400 base pairs) are smaller than transposons and are flanked by short (five to nine bases) direct repeats of host sequences.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Génétique
DEF

Segment d'ADN procaryotique, de moins de 2 kpb [kilo paires de base], mobile, capable de s'insérer en divers points du génome.

OBS

Les séquences d'insertion sont plus courtes que les transposons (700-1400 bases) et portent à chaque extrémité une séquence de 5 à 9 bases copie conforme de la séquence hôte.

OBS

Sorte d'élément transposable.

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Genética
DEF

Secuencia de ADN bacteriano, capaz de insertarse en el genoma.

CONT

Las secuencias de inserción (IS) son transposones básicos y constituyentes normales de cromosomas bacterianos y de plásmidos.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Information Processing (Informatics)
  • Internet and Telematics
  • Computer Programs and Programming

CONT

Inserting an element involves placing that element's markup within the markup of the file. This applies to all insertions, including, but not limited to, direct coding in a text editing mode, choosing an automated insertion from a pull-down menu or tool bar button, drag-and-drop style insertions, or paste operations.

OBS

The English terminology on this record is standardized by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) whose role it is to establish standards relating to Internet technology. The French terminology was proposed by the author of this record.

Record 6 1992-06-04

English

Subject field(s)
  • Muscles and Tendons
CONT

Muscles are made of cells, filaments, which slip one on top of another... tension generated by cross bridge activity is transmitted to the muscle cells surfaces and then through the connective tissue wrappings to the load(the muscle insertion) before work is done. All of these non contractile structures are collectively called the series-elastic element, since they are able to stretch and recoil.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Muscles et tendons
CONT

Mis à part les éléments contractiles du muscle, le déroulement de la contraction est influencé par le comportement de divers éléments élastiques (...). Des composants élastiques en série sont en partie situés en dehors du muscle (tendons), le reste étant localisé à l'intérieur des cellules. Les autres éléments sont disposés en parallèle.

CONT

Il faut envisager la présence d'éléments élastiques séries (zone charnière des filaments de myosine, filaments d'actine, stries Z, et tendons ) (...)
