What's the difference between footprint and ichnite?

Footprint


Definition:

  • (n.) The impression of the foot; a trace or footmark; as, "Footprints of the Creator."

Example Sentences:

  • (1) DMS and DNase I footprint competition studies demonstrated that the entire footprint can be accounted for by interactions with two previously identified transcription factors.
  • (2) The holoenzyme gave a footprint covering the same region.
  • (3) Also remember that each time you apply for a loan your credit record is checked, which will leave a footprint of the search.
  • (4) At high protein concentrations, three footprints fuse to a 106-bp protected region, suggesting that this segment specifically binds several proteins of lower affinity or abundance.
  • (5) Indeed, the geographical nature of the division also keeps a check on the club's carbon footprint – Dartford rarely have to travel far outside the M25, with the trips to Bognor Regis and Margate about as distant as they get.
  • (6) Footprinting of unidirectional deletion mutants that had lost activity indicated that this binding was not sufficient to confer enhancement.
  • (7) "It would be ridiculous to encourage shale gas when in reality its greenhouse gas footprint could be as bad as or worse than coal.
  • (8) Tomorrow, I'm going to get on a plane and go to another city and admittedly my carbon footprint is massive.
  • (9) We show by electrophoresis mobility shift and by DNAase I footprinting assays that the alpha 1 product of the yeast alpha mating-type locus binds to homologous sequences within the control regions of the three known alpha-specific genes.
  • (10) Direct chemical 'footprinting' shows that translocation of transfer RNA occurs in two discrete steps.
  • (11) The company lagged "far behind its major competitors, with zero reporting of its energy or environmental footprint to any source or stakeholder", the report said.
  • (12) On the contrary, at 37 degrees C only the promoter complex footprint was visible.
  • (13) This factor protects a 17 bp (-50 to -66) region in a DNAase I footprinting assay.
  • (14) Footprinting experiments show that GT-1 from both light-grown and dark-adapted plants binds to the same sequences in vitro.
  • (15) Other joint venture deals, designed to give the Pinewood name a global footprint, have also created Pinewood Toronto Studios and Pinewood Malaysia Iskandar Studios, with the latter due to open in 2013.
  • (16) By the combined use of DNase I footprinting, electrophoretic mobility-shift assay, and methylation interference analysis, we have identified a series of sequence-specific protein-DNA interactions in the 5' flanking region of the rat osteocalcin gene.
  • (17) However, in cell lines in which the gene was either silent or truncated the footprints were no longer visible.
  • (18) Similar to its human counterpart, yeast TFIID also exhibited specific binding to the adenovirus type 2 major late promoter TATA element, as shown by both DNase I footprinting and gel mobility shift assays.
  • (19) For miles, only the strip of land for the track is dug up, but in places the footprint is much wider: access routes for work vehicles; holding areas for excavated earth; new electricity substations; mounds of ballast prepared for the day when quarries cannot keep pace with the demands of the construction; extra lines for the trains that will lay the track.
  • (20) Their secrecy and diminished footprint make them harder than conventional wars to oppose and hold to account – though the backlash in countries bearing the brunt is bound to grow.

Ichnite


Definition:

  • (n.) A fossil footprint; as, the ichnites in the Triassic sandstone.
