Contig
A contig--from the word "contiguous"--is a series of overlapping DNA sequences used to make a physical map that reconstructs the original DNA sequence of a chromosome or a region of a chromosome.
Contig maps: Bottom- up mapping. The bottom- up approach involves cutting the chromosome into small pieces, each of which is cloned and ordered. The ordered fragments form contiguous DNA blocks (contigs).
Contiguous (contig) map. The alignment of sequence data from large, adjacent regions of the genome to produce a continuous nucleotide sequence across a chromosomal region. (See Mapping.)
Copy DNA. See cDNA.
Contiguous gene syndrome A syndrome caused by a deletion which has removed one copy of a number of genes which are close together in the genome.
Contig
A set of DNA fragments that overlap to yield a continuous sequence without gaps.
Contiguous gene syndromes: Disorders caused by microdeletions or microduplications in neighbouring functional genes. Inheritance is usually sporadic but recurrences are possible.
Contig
Group of cloned (copied) pieces of DNA representing overlapping regions of a particular chromosome.

Contig map
A genetic map depicting the relative order of a linked (contiguous) library of small overlapping clones representing a complete chromosomal segment.
CONTIG - A series of two or more individual DNA sequence determinations that overlap. In a sequencing project the contigs get larger and larger until the gaps between the contigs are filled in.
Contig: Several uses, all nouns. The term comes from a shortening of the word ‘contiguous'.
contiguity The association of events in time with particular reference here to classical conditioning.
continental boundary current A surface ocean current flowing generally north or south along a continental edge.
Contiguous genes -- genes physically close on a chromosome that when acting together express a phenotype.

- A non-coding nucleotide sequence in eukaryotic DNA, separating two portions of nucleotide sequences found to be contiguous in the mRNA; also called intervening sequence.
In vitro
- Performed in a test tube or other laboratory apparatus.
Usually the motifs do not overlap, but are separated along a sequence, though they may be contiguous in 3D-space.

An electrical synapse is what is often called a "gap junction," in which the membranes of two neurons are continuous at tiny spots, making the cells electrically contiguous.
Gap junctions Passageways between the interiors of two contiguous cells. Also known as cell-to-cell channels.
After invasion, they multiply intracellularly, and spread to contiguous epitheleal cells resulting in tissue destruction. Some strains produce enterotoxin and Shiga toxin (very much like the verotoxin of E. coli O157:H7).
Cline: a series of contiguous populations that exhibit gradual and continuous change of character in response to some environmental gradient.
