What's the difference between footprint and satellite?

Footprint


Definition:

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

  • (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.

Satellite


Definition:

  • (n.) An attendant attached to a prince or other powerful person; hence, an obsequious dependent.
  • (n.) A secondary planet which revolves about another planet; as, the moon is a satellite of the earth. See Solar system, under Solar.
  • (a.) Situated near; accompanying; as, the satellite veins, those which accompany the arteries.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Endogeneous satellite cells in skeletal muscle regenerating from bupivacaine damage were infected with an injected retrovirus containing the Escherichia coli beta-galactosidase gene under the promoter control of the Moloney murine leukemia virus long-terminal repeat.
  • (2) These preliminary experiments suggest that oSm is similar to IGF-I in its binding characteristics and that primary cultures of skeletal muscle satellite cells possess type I and type II IGF receptors.
  • (3) These differences point to the fact that the mechanisms that regulate satellite cell mitotic and fusion behavior are also not the same in all muscles.
  • (4) Thus, the previously described ubiquity of "82H" human centromeric sequences reflects the existence of diverse alpha satellite subsets located at the centromeric region of each human chromosome.
