Liaison chimiqueUne liaison chimique est une interaction durable entre plusieurs atomes, ions ou molécules, à une distance permettant la stabilisation du système et la formation d'un agrégat ou d'une substance chimique. Les électrons, chargés négativement, gravitent autour d’un noyau constitué de protons chargés positivement. Les deux corps s’attirent du fait de la force électrostatique s’exerçant entre les électrons et les protons. Ainsi, un électron positionné entre deux noyaux sera attiré par les deux corps chargés positivement, et les noyaux seront attirés par l’électron.
Sequence analysisIn bioinformatics, sequence analysis is the process of subjecting a DNA, RNA or peptide sequence to any of a wide range of analytical methods to understand its features, function, structure, or evolution. Methodologies used include sequence alignment, searches against biological databases, and others. Since the development of methods of high-throughput production of gene and protein sequences, the rate of addition of new sequences to the databases increased very rapidly.
Third-generation sequencingThird-generation sequencing (also known as long-read sequencing) is a class of DNA sequencing methods currently under active development. Third generation sequencing technologies have the capability to produce substantially longer reads than second generation sequencing, also known as next-generation sequencing. Such an advantage has critical implications for both genome science and the study of biology in general. However, third generation sequencing data have much higher error rates than previous technologies, which can complicate downstream genome assembly and analysis of the resulting data.
Physical propertyA physical property is any property that is measurable, involved in the state of a physical system, whose value represents the intensity on the object's state and behavior. The changes in the physical properties of a system can be used to describe its changes between momentary states. A quantifiable physical property is called physical quantity. Measurable physical quantities are often referred to as observables. Physical properties are often characterized as intensive and extensive properties.
