DNA reverse transcribed from an RNA template. Congruence: Agreement among data or data sets.
DNA made from a messenger RNA (mRNA) template. The single-stranded form of cDNA is often used as a probe in physical mapping.
( cDNA) DNA synthesized from an RNA template by the enzyme reverse transcriptase.
a molecule of DNA that does not contain introns because of the process of reverse transcription, where mRNA is the template for the making of DNA.
(cDNA) A DNA copy of a messenger RNA molecule.
cDNA) See cDNA.
A strand of DNA that can be synthesized in a test tube from a messenger RNA template after intron sequences have been spliced out.
DNA made in a laboratory from the messenger RNA (mRNA) expressed by a gene. The cDNA is made using an enzyme.
DNA molecule made as a copy of mRNA and therefore lacking the introns that are present in genomic DNA. Used to determine the amino acid sequence of a protein by DNA sequencing or to make the protein in large quantities by cloning followed by expression.
DNA synthesized from an mRNA template.
single-stranded DNA that is complementary to messenger RNA or DNA that has been synthesized from messenger RNA by reverse transcriptase
DNA that is identical to a native DNA containing a gene of interest, except that the cDNA lacks noncoding regions (introns) because it is synthesised in the laboratory using mRNA templates.
Single-stranded DNA synthesised from a messenger RNA template: often used as a probe in chromosome mapping.
cDNA is DNA that is synthesised in the lab from mRNA by reverse transcription. A cDNA is so-called because its sequence is the complement of the original mRNA sequence.
DNA formed by reverse transcription of mRNA.
cDNA) Synthetic DNA transcribed from a specific RNA through the action of the enzyme reverse transcriptase.
DNA that is synthesized from a messenger RNA template using the enzyme reverse transcriptase.
A DNA molecule made in vitro using mRNA as the template and reverse transcriptase as the enzyme.
DNA synthesized from a messenger RNA rather than from a DNA template. This type of DNA is used for cloning or as a DNA probe for locating specific genes in DNA hybridization studies.
a DNA sequence which was produced from mRNA by reverse transcription. A cDNA is so-called because its sequence is the complement of the original mRNA sequence. However, when double-stranded cDNA is synthesized, it contains both the original sequence and its complement.
(cDNA) DNA that is synthesized in the laboratory from a messenger RNA template.
A DNA molecule made in vitro using mRNA as a template and the enzyme reverse transcriptase. A cDNA molecule therefore corresponds to a gene, but lacks the introns present in the DNA of the genome.
DNA that is synthesized from a messenger RNA template; the single-stranded form is often used as a probe in physical mapping or for detecting RNA. Since cDNA is constructed from messenger RNA (after introns have been spliced out), it does not contain introns.
cDNA is DNA that is synthesized in the lab from mRNA templates. complementary sequences: nucleic acid base sequences that can form a double-stranded structure by matching base pairs; the complementary sequence to G-T-A-C is C-A-T-G. [Source: DOE Primer on Molecular Genetics
DNA that is synthesized from a messenger RNA template; the single-stranded form is often used as a probe in physical mapping. Complementary sequence : Nucleic acid base sequence that can form a double-stranded structure by matching base pairs with another sequence; the complementary sequence to GTAC is CATG. Conserved sequence : A base sequence in a DNA molecule (or an amino acid sequence in a protein) that has remained essentially unchanged throughout evolution.
A single strand of DNA synthesized in the lab to complement the bases in a given strand of messenger RNA. Complementary DNA represents the parts of a gene that are expressed in a cell to produce a protein.
Strong, amplified copies of otherwise fragile mRNA.
A DNA copy made from a messenger RNA template which is transcribed in a "finish to start" orientation by a reverse transcriptase enzyme. When the cDNA is transcribed in the conventional orientation by an ordinary RNA polymerase enzyme a copy of the parent mRNA is produced. Consequently, cDNAs are valuable when one wants to mimic endogenous expression of a gene.
DNA synthesized from mRNA by the enzyme reverse transcriptase.
In genetics, complementary DNA (cDNA) is DNA synthesized from a mature m RNA template. cDNA is often used to clone eukaryotic genes in prokaryotes.
