Northern blotting: searches for specific mRNA sequences.
Southern blotting: searches for specific DNA sequences.
Western blotting: searches for specific proteins.
Eastern blotting: searches for specific post-translational modifications on proteins.
RNA-seq: produces a quantitative gene expression estimate.
Candidate gene: a gene with a known protein product that is likely to be af...
Exome sequencing:
1st step: Genomic DNA is extracted.
2nd step: DNA is randomly broken to pieces.
3rd step: Exon DNA is hybridized with matching sequences.
4th step: Relevant DNA is "captured".
5th step: DNA is amplified through PCR.
6th step: DNA is sequenced and mapped.
Cancer-related terms and their definitions:
Carcinogenesis: development of cancer.
