TermDefinition
Nucleotides A compound consisting of a nucleoside linked to a phosphate group. Nucleotides form the basic structural unit of nucleic acids such as DNA.
DNA Fingerprinting The analysis of DNA from samples of body tissues or fluids in order to identify individuals.
Luminol Luminol is a versatile chemical that exhibits chemiluminescence, with a striking blue glow, when mixed with an appropriate oxidizing agent.
Palindrome A palindromic sequence of DNA.
DNA Deoxyribonucleic acid.
PCR Phosphocreatine, also known as creatine phosphate or PCr, is a phosphorylated creatine molecule that serves as a rapidly mobilizable reserve of high-energy phosphates in skeletal muscle and the brain.
Microliter One millionth of a liter.
Human Genome The human genome is the complete set of genetic information for humans. This information is located as DNA sequences within the 23 chromosome pairs in cell nuclei and in a small DNA molecule found within individual mitochondria.
DNA Polymerase The enzyme responsible for DNA replication.
Gene (in informal use) A unit of heredity that is transferred from a parent to offspring and is held to determine some characteristic of the offspring.
Digital Micropipette A small and extremely fine-pointed pipette used in making microinjections.

Restriction Enzyme An enzyme produced chiefly by certain bacteria, having the property of cleaving DNA molecules at or near a specific sequence of bases.
Hybridization (genetics) The act of mixing different species or varieties of animals or plants and thus to produce hybrids.
Fingerprint An impression or mark made on a surface by a person's fingertip, esp. as used for identifying individuals from the unique pattern of whorls and lines.
Staggered Cut (staggered cuts) The cleavage of two opposite strands of duplex DNA at points near one another.
Agarose Gel Agarose gel electrophoresis is a method of gel electrophoresis used in biochemistry, molecular biology, and clinical chemistry to separate a mixed population of DNA or proteins in a matrix of agarose.
Gel Electrophoresis Gel electrophoresis is a method for separation and analysis of macromolecules and their fragments, based on their size and charge.
Restriction Site The specific sites at which a restriction enzyme will cleave DNA.
Evidence The available body of facts or information indicating whether a belief or proposition is true or valid.
