Biology
This molecule, often called the "blueprint of life," carries the genetic instructions used in the growth, development, and functioning of living organisms.
What is DNA?
This programming language, named after a popular British comedy group, is widely used in bioinformatics for data analysis and machine learning.
What is Python?
This statistical test compares the means of two groups to determine if they are significantly different from each other.
What is a t-test?
This movie series, set in a wizarding world, features a young boy who discovers he's a famous wizard destined to defeat a dark lord.
What is Harry Potter?
This physicist developed the theory of relativity, one of the two pillars of modern physics.
Who is Albert Einstein?
These proteins act as catalysts to accelerate chemical reactions within the cell.
What are enzymes?
This term refers to a machine learning technique where data is grouped based on similarity, often used in gene expression analysis.
What is clustering?
In hypothesis testing, this value measures the probability of obtaining results at least as extreme as those observed, under the null hypothesis.
What is a p-value?
This dystopian film series features a young girl who volunteers in place of her sister in a deadly competition broadcasted for entertainment.
What is The Hunger Games?
Known as the father of modern genetics, this scientist discovered the fundamental laws of inheritance by studying pea plants.
Who is Gregor Mendel?
This process involves the transcription of DNA into mRNA and the subsequent translation into proteins.
What is gene expression?
This algorithm, commonly used for sequence alignment, compares biological sequences such as proteins and DNA.
What is BLAST (Basic Local Alignment Search Tool)?
This statistical method models the relationship between a dependent variable and one or more independent variables.
What is regression analysis?
In Jurassic Park, this fictional enzyme, essential for the survival of cloned dinosaurs, was used as a safety measure to control the dinosaur population.
What is lysine?
This British scientist co-discovered the structure of DNA along with James Watson and Maurice Wilkins.
Who is Francis Crick?
This organelle is involved in the synthesis of lipids, detoxification of drugs, and storage of calcium ions, and is particularly abundant in liver cells.
What is the smooth endoplasmic reticulum?
This data structure, which resembles a family tree, is often used in phylogenetic analysis to represent evolutionary relationships.
What is a phylogenetic tree?
This term refers to the sum of squared differences between observed and expected values, often used in fitting models to data
What is the residual sum of squares (RSS)?
In Divergent, this serum is used to manipulate the minds of the Dauntless faction, forcing them to act against their will during the attack on Abnegation.
What is the simulation serum?
This pioneering physicist and chemist was the first person to win Nobel Prizes in two different sciences, physics and chemistry.
Who is Marie Curie?
Mutations in this tumor suppressor gene, often referred to as the "guardian of the genome," can lead to unregulated cell division and are implicated in over 50% of all human cancers. It plays a crucial role in DNA repair, apoptosis, and cell cycle regulation, and its activation is tightly regulated by interactions with MDM2 and other proteins
What is the p53 gene?
This algorithmic approach, named after a search strategy used in artificial intelligence, is used to find the shortest path in a weighted graph.
What is Dijkstra’s algorithm?
In data analysis, this technique reduces the dimensionality of data while preserving as much variability as possible, often used in genomics.
What is Principal Component Analysis (PCA)
In The Lord of the Rings series, this Elven blade, which glows blue in the presence of Orcs, was originally found by Bilbo Baggins and later given to Frodo for his quest.
What is Sting?
This mathematician and physicist formulated the laws of planetary motion, accurately describing the elliptical orbits of planets around the Sun, and significantly advanced the field of celestial mechanics
Who is Johannes Kepler?
