Q

Chromosome structure
Chromosome structure

q

q (Q) used as a single letter code for the amino acid Glutamine, one of the 20 common amino acids that form protein and also represented by the 3 letter code "Gln".
q used to identify the chromosome long arm (possibly French, tall), the next letter in alphabet after p, and used along with chromosome and band number to indicate genes located on this arm of the chromosome. The chromosome short arm is identified as p (possibly French, petit). These chromosomal arms are only seen when the chromosome is folded for cell division.

Q-banding

A genetics term used to describe a technique for staining chromosomes during metaphase. The resulting banding pattern is seen by treating with a fluorochrome or the fluorescent dye quinacrin. There are several other chromosome staining techniques, including G-banding, R-banding and C-banding.
(More? Molecular Development - Genetics)

Q fever

Q fever is a zoonotic disease caused by Coxiella burnetii (C. burnetii), a species of bacteria that is distributed globally. In 1999, Q fever became a notifiable disease in the United States but reporting is not required in many other countries. Because the disease is underreported, scientists cannot reliably assess how many cases of Q fever have actually occurred worldwide.  Many human infections are inapparent. Cattle, sheep, and goats are the primary reservoirs of Coxiella burnetii.  Infection has been noted in a wide variety of other animals, including other species of livestock and in domesticated pets.  Coxiella burnetii does not usually cause clinical disease in these animals, although abortion in goats and sheep has been linked to C. burnetii infection.  Organisms are excreted in milk, urine, and feces of infected animals.(text modified from CDC USA)

QF-PCR

acronym for Quantitative Fluorescent Polymerase Chain Reaction. A molecular biology DNA amplification technique that incorporates a flourescent marker into synthesized at a quantifiable rate. Technique is also being developed as a prenatal diagnostic technique for chromosomal anomalies and aneuploidies (chromosomes 13, 18 and 21, and X and Y).
(More? Prenatal Diagnosis)

quail

A small bird used in embryo transplant experiments with chicken. Quail cells have a distinctive nucleolus allowing transplanted cells to be easily identified using histological stains and have therefore been used in studies of neural crest and limb development.

quickening

Term used to describe the first fetal movements that are felt by the mother between GA 16 to 22 weeks.
(More? fetal)

quiet embryo hypothesis

A hypothesis that suggests viable embryos have a "quieter" metabolism than those which arrest. Based on experimental data on the net depletion or release of nutrients (pyruvate, glucose, lactate and amino acids) and on oxygen consumption.
