homopolymer tailing (medicine) and householding (iou)


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.

householding noun. Now rare. LME.
[from HOUSE noun1 + HOLDING noun.]
(Formerly) Management or (later) occupancy of a house.
