| overgrowth | Just what it sounds like: excessive growth. (12 Dec 1998) |
| overgrowth syndromes | Conditions with multiple abnormalities including excessive growth. Early overgrowth syndromes that affecting children include the fragile x and beckwith-wiedemannn syndromes. Overactivity of the pituitary gland with overproductiuon of growth hormone causes overgrowth before adolescence and a distinctive pattern of overgrowth called acromegaly. (12 Dec 1998) |
| overhang | An excess of dental filling material beyond the cavity margin or normal tooth contour. (05 Mar 2000) |
| overhanging restoration | A restoration with excessive material at the junction of the restoration margin and the tooth. (05 Mar 2000) |
| overhead cover | Material (organic or inorganic) that provides protection to fish or other aquatic animals from above, generally includes material overhanging the stream less than a particular distance above the water surface. Values less than 0.5 m (1.5 feet) and less than 1 m (3 feet) have been used. (09 Oct 1997) |
| overhead projector | <instrument> A projector by which images are reflected by a mirror through a lens, or lenses, onto a screen, using reflected light for opaque objects and transmitted light for translucent or transparent ones. Synonym: overhead projector. Origin: epi-+ G. Dia, through, + skopeo, to view (05 Mar 2000) |
| overhydration | Excess water content of the body; may result from the intravenous administration of unduly large amounts of glucose solution. Synonym: overhydration. (05 Mar 2000) |
| overjet | <dentistry> Horizontal projection of upper teeth beyond the lower. (08 Jan 1998) |
| overlap | 1. The lapping of one thing over another; as, an overlap of six inches; an overlap of a slate on a roof. 2. <geology> An extension of geological beds above and beyond others, as in a conformable series of beds, when the upper beds extend over a wider space than the lower, either in one or in all directions.

| overlap hybridization | A procedure to find and sequence a gene whose approximate position in a chromosome is known by classical genetic linkage studies. Starting with the known sequence of a gene shown by classical genetics to be near to the novel gene, new clones are picked from a genomic library by hybridisation with a short probe generated from the appropriate end of the known sequence. The new clones are then sequenced, new probes generated and the process repeated until the gene of interest is reached. (18 Nov 1997) |
| overlap index | <cell biology> A measure of the extent to which a population of cells in culture forms multilayers. The predicted amount of overlapping is calculated knowing the cell density, the projected area of the nucleus (usually) and assuming a Poisson distribution. The actual overlap is measured on fixed and stained preparations and the ratio of actual/predicted is derived. A value of 1 implies a random distribution with no constraint on overlapping, normal fibroblasts may have values as low as 0.05. Although a useful measure it does not unambiguously indicate the reason for the effect, which may be contact inhibition of locomotion or differential adhesion of cells between substratum and other cells. (18 Nov 1997) |
| overlapping | <cell biology> In cell locomotion situation in which the leading lamella of one cell moves actively over the dorsal surface of another cell should be distinguished from underlapping. (18 Nov 1997) |
| overlapping gene | <molecular biology> Different genes whose nucleotide coding sequences overlap to some extent. The common nucleotide sequence is read in two or three different reading frames thus specifying different polypeptides. (18 Nov 1997) |
