| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Codis | generic term used to describe the FBI’s program of support for criminal justice DNA databases |
| RFLP | a variation in the length of restriction fragments produced by a given restriction enzyme in a sample of DNA |
| Sticky Ends | an end of a DNA double helix at which a few unpaired nucleotides of one strand extend beyond the other. |
| DNA Fingerprinting | method of isolating and making images of sequences of DNA |
| Cleave | Division of a cell |
| Comb | |
| Restriction Enzyme | an enzyme produced chiefly by certain bacteria, having the property of cleaving DNA molecules at or near a specific sequence of bases. |
| Exclusion | two species that compete for the exact same resources cannot stably coexist |
| Hybridization | the act of mixing different species or varieties of animals or plants and thus to produce hybrids |
| VNTR | A Variable Number Tandem Repeat is a location in a genome where a short nucleotide sequence is organized as a tandem repeat |
| Nucleotides | compound consisting of a nucleoside linked to a phosphate group. Nucleotides form the basic structural unit of nucleic acids such as DNA. |
| Gel Lanes | shows separation of the components from the original mixture as one or more distinct bands |
| DNA Fragments | the separation or breaking of DNA strands into pieces |
| Palindrome | a sequence identical to its complementary strand |
| Wells | |
| STR | repeating sequences of 2-6 base pairs of DNA |

| Inclusion | state of being included or being made a part of something |
| Microliter | one millionth of a liter. |
| Human Genome | the complete set of genetic information for humans |
| Blunt Cut | |
| Buffer | a solution that resists changes in pH when acid or alkali is added to it |
| Recombinant DNA | DNA that has been formed artificially by combining constituents from different organisms. |
| DNA Polymerase | the enzyme responsible for DNA replication |
| Gene | unit of heredity that is transferred from a parent to offspring and is held to determine some characteristic of the offspring. |
| Digital Micropipette | A pipette designed for the measurement of very small volumes. |
| Staggered Cut | The cleavage of two opposite strands of duplex DNA at points near one another. |
| Agarose Gel | a mathod of gel electrophoresis used to to separate a mixed population of DNA or proteins in a matrix of agarose. |
| Inconclusive | something that did not produce clear results or that did not resolve a question or dispute |
| 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. |
| Luminol | versatile chemical that exhibits chemiluminescence, with a striking blue glow, when mixed with an appropriate oxidizing agent |
| PCR | is a phosphorylated creatine molecule that serves as a rapidly mobilizable reserve of high-energy phosphates in skeletal muscle and the brain. |
| Restriction Site | the specific sites at which a restriction enzyme will cleave DNA |
| Gel Electrophoresis | is a method for separation and analysis of macromolecules and their fragments |
| Evidence | the available body of facts or information indicating whether a belief or proposition is true or valid. |
