Industry:Biotechnology
A naturally occurring subdivision of a species, with distinct morphological characters and given a Latin name according to the rules of the International Code of Nomenclature. A taxonomic variety is known by the first validly published name applied to it so that nomenclature tends to be stable.
Industry:Biotechnology
A naturally occurring, double-stranded, circular DNA plasmid (6 318 bp) found in the nuclei of yeast. Many yeast plasmid vectors are derived from the 2mm plasmid. a.k.a. 2mm circle; 2 m-plasmid; 2-micron plasmid.
Industry:Biotechnology

Industry:Biotechnology
A negative assay result that should have been positive.
Industry:Biotechnology
A negatively charged ion; opposite: cation.
Industry:Biotechnology
A nitrated derivative of cellulose. It is made into membrane filters of defined porosity, used to immobilize DNA, RNA or protein, which can then be probed with a labelled sequence or antibody. These filters have a variety of uses in molecular biology, particularly in nucleic acid hybridization experiments. Used extensively in the Southern and northern blotting procedures involving DNA and RNA.
