research use only
Biology; Biochemistry
Research Use Only (RUO) is a product that is labeled for testing for the initial research phase of product development.
analogy
Biology; Biochemistry
Resemblance in characteristics (e.g., body form, behavior) as a consequence of independent adaptation to the same or similar environmental conditions and not due to common ancestry.
antisense RNA
Biology; Biochemistry
RNA product of mic (m RNA -interfering complementary RNA) genes that regulates another gene by base pairing with and thus preventing translation from its m RNA.
scaffold attachment region
Biology; Biochemistry
SAR (scaffold attachment region) the position along eukaryotic DNA where it is anchored to the central scaffold of the chromosome.
group selection
Biology; Biochemistry
Selection for traits that would be beneficial to a population at the expense of the individual possessing the trait.
