A species whose distribution is restricted to a particular area.
Industry:Natural environment
A vector used to clone DNA fragments from 300 kb to one megabase (unit of length for DNA fragments equal to one million nucleotides) in length. These clones can span large portions of the genome rapidly, but can be highly unstable.
Industry:Natural environment
An information extraction activity whose goal is to discover hidden facts contained in databases. Using a combination of machine learning, pattern recognition, statistical analysis, modeling techniques and database technology, data mining finds patterns and subtle relationships in data and infers rules that allow the prediction of future results.
Industry:Natural environment
In taxonomy, any name for a given taxon other than the valid name.
Industry:Natural environment
One of the short unsegmented processes located on each side of most of the body segments in many annelid worms. Parapodia (pl) function in locomotion and often also as tactile or branchial organs. In some marine snails (e.g., sea hares and pteropods) it is a broad lateral expansion of either side of the foot, forming a broad swimming organ.
Industry:Natural environment
