What's the difference between cryptic and cryptogram?

Cryptic


Definition:

  • (a.) Alt. of Cryptical

Example Sentences:

  • (1) We speculate that this cleavage event is catalyzed by either a cryptic potyviral proteinase that requires a host factor or subcellular environment for activation, or possibly a host proteinase.
  • (2) A histidine-requiring derivative of strain AA0019 obtained after acridine orange treatment retained the cryptic plasmid DNA.
  • (3) In the present study, we demonstrate that the inability of one such variant, phi 1m, to develop normally in strain 168 is mediated by cryptic prophage SP beta.
  • (4) In an attempt to characterize the nature of this selective increase of ME content in the striatum, the precursor content (cryptic ME) as well as the preproenkephalin mRNA abundance was determined.
  • (5) reconstruction of the TOL plasmid pWWO from the cryptic plasmid pWWO-8 and chromosome-borne catabolic operons of the pWWO plasmid has been described.
  • (6) Using CT and angiography alone it is difficult to differentiate cryptic arteriovenous malformations from a neoplasm particularly in the brainstem.
  • (7) The use of a cryptic splicing site induced JF1 cells to produce an aberrant large-sized transcript containing the I gamma RS 3' to the first exon of C gamma 1.
  • (8) Two cryptic plasmids, pAM330 from Brevibacterium lactofermentum and pHM1519 from Corynebacterium glutamicum, were used as precursors, and recombined with pBR325 or pUB110.
  • (9) The Thomsen-Friedenreich antigen (T-antigen) is a cryptic disaccharide structure on human erythrocytes and is supposed to be expressed in an unhidden form on carcinoma cells.
  • (10) "It is not the money, it is the men," he says, cryptically.
  • (11) The cryptic promoter activity of fr153BN was suppressed by an upstream 121-bp fragment (fr121SB) which contained a consensus sequence motif for binding of a repressor protein, GC factor, and regions showing sequence similarity with putative cis-acting repressor elements found in the vimentin gene.
  • (12) In both groups, cryptic Met-enkephalin peaked at 70% VO2max and returned to basal levels during exercise at 120% VO2max.
  • (13) Resulting from the apparent use of a cryptic splice acceptor site in place of the canonical intron 5 site, this insertion is predicted to generate an in-frame insertion of five nonpolar amino acid residues within a highly polar region of the intracytoplasmic domain of the H-2K polypeptide.
  • (14) It is suggested that spontaneously occurring cryptic lesions that are themselves unable to induce the SOS system are subject to translesion synthesis under these conditions and trigger a burst of hitch-hiking mutations that are therefore effectively umuC dependent.
  • (15) This regimen of nicotine also decreased levels of native Met-enkephalin and of both native and cryptic Leu-enkephalin in neurointermediate lobe, consistent with nicotine-induced release of both proenkephalin A- and prodynorphin-derived peptides from neurointermediate lobe.
  • (16) An in situ hybridization technique using a biotinylated probe for the human VIM was applied to detect eventual cryptic translocations, as chromosome 10p is difficult to identify.
  • (17) Cryptic mutations are undetected base changes in genetic DNA (or hereditary RNA).
  • (18) There, he left a cryptic comment under his own name: “1 of the most deceptive books ever.” Fans began to reply angrily, questioning whether this could possibly be the real Alex.
  • (19) In 1990, two persons--one each in California and Florida--were diagnosed with malaria classified as cryptic; their infections may have been acquired in the United States through bites of mosquitoes that became infected after biting parasitemic migrant workers.
  • (20) Cryptic heterozygosity will usually be much more frequent in heterothallic than homothallic organisms.

Cryptogram


Definition:

  • (n.) A cipher writing. Same as Cryptograph.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Instead, a single-use “cryptogram” is sent to the merchant, which authorises a single transaction of a specified amount.
  • (2) The findings are documented by cryptograms and adequate symbolic parts.
