What's the difference between charon and ferryman?

Charon


Definition:

  • (n.) The son of Erebus and Nox, whose office it was to ferry the souls of the dead over the Styx, a river of the infernal regions.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) The complete human genomic glutathione-S-transferase-pi gene (GST-pi) was isolated from a lambda Charon 4A bacteriophage library which was screened by hybridization to a human GST-pi cDNA.
  • (2) The promoter of the gene coding for the rat cytosolic aspartate aminotransferase was cloned from a Charon 4A genomic library.
  • (3) DNA restriction analysis of biologically active lambda Charon 27-LD recombinant clones indicated that individual LD viruses contained similar but not identical deletion endpoints.
  • (4) A bovine tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) cDNA probe was used to screen a charon 30 genomic library.
  • (5) Segments of the replication control region of bacteriophage lambda (lambda) and lambda mutants defective in replication were attached in vitro to the phi80 phage vector Charon 3 and to the plasmid vector mini Col El (pVH51).
  • (6) A library of random chicken DNA fragments, 15-22 kb long, has been prepared in the vector lambda Charon 4A.
  • (7) Charon ventriculi comprised over 30% of the total protozoa observed in rumen contents of a Flamenga cow fed Rhodes grass hay (Chloris gayana).
  • (8) We have isolated the genomic clone, which contained 5'-flanking region for human terminal deoxynucleotidyltransferase (TdT) gene, by screening Charon 4A library and determined its nucleotide sequence.
  • (9) The gene encoding rat fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase was isolated from a rat genomic Charon 4A library by screening with a cDNA to the rat liver enzyme.
  • (10) A mouse genomic library in lambda Charon 4A was screened for putative ribosomal protein genes using a fragment of the gene encoding Drosophila ribosomal protein 49 as a hybridization probe under nonstringent hybridization conditions.
  • (11) Sau3A fragments of genomic DNA from the fungus were cloned in a lambda Charon 35 vector.
  • (12) A series of recombinant bacteriophages, spanning the chromosomal region between the dnaG and cca genes at 66 min on the E. coli linkage map, were isolated from a lambda Charon 28 partial Sau3A E. coli DNA library using recombinant plasmids containing regions between dnaG and cca as probes.
  • (13) A similar determinant exists in Charon 4A and maps in phi 80-derived sequences, between nin5 and the Rz homology with lambda.
  • (14) In addition, three overlapping clones covering more than 21 kilobases of the Type III gene were isolated from Charon 4A libraries of human genomic fragments.
  • (15) From the gene library of hybridoma PTF-02 in phage Charon 28 both K genes were isolated.
  • (16) A bovine genomic library constructed by partial Sau3A digestion and contained in lambda Charon 30 was screened by in situ hybridization with a 1.3-kilobase (kb) sheep elastin cDNA clone [Yoon, K., May, M., Goldstein, N., Indik, Z., Oliver, L., Boyd, C., & Rosenbloom, J.
  • (17) These two sequences, DC3 and DC4, have been isolated from a Charon 4A-D. melanogaster genomic library.
  • (18) A genomic library has been constructed in the vector lambda charon 4A containing insert sizes of 13-20 kilobases.
  • (19) A. Charon, T. A. Luger, S. E. Mergenhagen, and J. J. Oppenheim, Infect.
  • (20) A chicken histone H2A probe has been used to isolate five different clones from a mouse genomic library in lambda Charon 4A.

Ferryman


Definition:

  • (n.) One who maintains or attends a ferry.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Afterwards you could climb the Southwold lighthouse (a sign saying "not suitable for people with vertigo" dissuaded us) or pay 90p for a ferryman to row you to Walberswick.
