molecular Flashcards
Room A
reagent preparation for PR components
This is a clean room where to nucleic acid is allowed
Room B
Nucleic Acid extraction room with hoods
Room C
Thermal cycling room for specimen amplificaion
Room D
Agarose gel electrophoresis room
PCR
target amplification using DNA polymerase and thermo cycling
TMA
target amplification using reverse transcriptase. NO thermal cycling needed,
bDNA
signal amplification using alkaline phosphatase and NO thermal cycling
NASBA
target amplification using 3 enzymes and NO thermal cycling
Missense
a nucleotide or sequence substitution that codes for a different amino acid
SNP
Most common; a single base change
Deletion
A missing nucleotide or other portion of DNA sequence
Insertion
An extra DNA nucleotide or other portion of DNA sequence
Nonsense
Nucleotide substitution that ends in early termination of the protein manufacturing process; usually due to a stop codon
