homopolymer tailing (medicine) and Choroideremia (health)


homopolymer tailing (medicine)


homopolymer tailing


A lab technique where a nucleic acid homopolymer (a long chain of the same nucleotide over and over) is attached to the end of a piece of DNA as a part of DNA cloning. It is especially useful in cDNA cloning to get the cDNA inserted into the cloning vector -- a nucleic acid homopolymer which contains the complementary nucleotide to the cDNA tail is attached to the vector, which then pairs with the tail on the cDNA.


Choroideremia (health)


Atrophy or decay of the choroid, choriocapillaris and Bruch’s membrane of the eye, leading to a severe loss of vision. Usually progresses to light perception by 50 years of age. Leads to night blindness tunnel vision and reduced visual acuity. No treatment available.
