| insensible perspiration | Perspiration that evaporates before it is perceived as moisture on the skin; the term sometimes includes evaporation from the lungs. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| insensible thirst | A physiologic condition, perhaps caused by hypertonicity of body fluids, insufficient to initiate drinking but at times sufficient to sustain drinking when started; loosely, oligodipsia. Synonym: insensible thirst, subliminal thirst. Origin: hypo-+ G. Dipsa, thirst (05 Mar 2000) |
| insert | 1. An additional length of base pairs in DNA that has been introduced into that DNA. 2. An additional length of bases that has been introduced into RNA. 3. An additional length of amino acids that has been introduced into a protein. (05 Mar 2000) |
| inserted | Attached to, arising from. (09 Oct 1997) |
| insertin | <protein> Protein (30 kD) from chicken gizzard smooth muscle. Binds to the barbed ends of actin filaments and apparently allows insertion of further monomers. (18 Nov 1997) |
| insertion | 1. <anatomy> The place of attachment, as of a muscle to the bone which it moves. 2. <genetics> A rare nonreciprocal translocation involving three breaks in which a segment is removed from one chromosome and then inserted into a broken region of a nonhomologous chromosome. Origin: L. Inserere = to join to (18 Nov 1997) |
| insertion mutation | A mutation caused by the insertion of at least one extra nucleotide basein a DNA sequence. (09 Oct 1997) |
| insertion sequence | Mobile nucleotide sequences that occur naturally in the genomes of bacterial populations. When inserted into bacterial DNA, they inactivate the gene concerned, when they are removed the gene regains its activity. Closely related to transposons and range in size from a few hundred to a few thousand bases, but are usually less than 1500 bases. (18 Nov 1997) |
| insertional inactivation | The inactivation of a gene due to the insertion of exogenous genetic material into that gene. (14 Nov 1997) |
| insertional mutagenesis | Generally, mutagenesis of DNA by the insertion of one or more bases. Specific examples: 1. Oncogenesis by insertion of a retrovirus adjacent to a cellular proto-oncogene. 2. A strategy of mutagenesis with transposons. After a round of transposition, progeny are screened by PCR, with transposon and gene specific primers, for the proximity of the transposon sequence to the gene of interest. As PCR can only produce products up to 1-2 kb, a large fraction of progeny identified as positive by PCR will have a transposon close enough to the gene to inactivate or otherwise alter its pattern of expression. (18 Nov 1997) |
| insertosome | Mobile nucleotide sequences that occur naturally in the genomes of bacterial populations. When inserted into bacterial DNA, they inactivate the gene concerned, when they are removed the gene regains its activity. Closely related to transposons and range in size from a few hundred to a few thousand bases, but are usually less than 1500 bases. (18 Nov 1997) |
| inservice training | On the job training programs for personnel carried out within an institution or agency. It includes orientation programs. (12 Dec 1998) |
| insessor | <ornithology, zoology> One of the Insessores. The group includes most of the common singing birds. (06 Mar 1998) |
| insessores | <ornithology> An order of birds, formerly established to include the perching birds, but now generally regarded as an artificial group. Origin: NL, fr. L. Insessor, lit, one who sits down, fr. Incidere. See Insession. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| insessorial | 1. <ornithology> Pertaining to, or having the character of, perching birds. 2. Belonging or pertaining to the Insessores. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
