Bacterial Artificial Chromosome (BAC)

Science / Genetics / Bacterial Artificial Chromosome (BAC): A vector used to clone dna fragments (100- to 300-kb insert size: average, 150 kb) in escherichia coli cells. Based on naturally occurring f-factor plasmid found in the bacterium e. Coli. MORE

Pku

Science / Genetics / Pku: Phenylketonuria, an enzyme deficiency condition characterized by the inability to convert one amino acid, phenylalanine, to another, tyrosine, resulting in mental deficiency. Plasmid double-stranded, MORE

Biochemical Rocks

Science / Geology / Biochemical Rocks: A sedimentary rock that forms from the chemical activities of organisms. Organic (reef and fossiliferous) limestones and bacterial iron ores are examples. MORE

Phage

Science / Genetics / Phage: A virus for which the natural host is a bacterial cell. MORE

Cosmid

Science / Genetics / Cosmid: Artificially constructed cloning vector containing the cos gene of phage lambda. Cosmids can be packaged in lambda phage particles for infection into e. Coli: this permits cloning of larger dna fragme MORE

Plasmid

Health / Disease / Plasmid: DNA separate from the chromosomal DNA and capable of independent replication. Found naturally in many bacteria, it is typically circular and double-stranded. MORE
