Wikipedia

  1. polony

    Bologna sausage, informally baloney ( bə-LOH-nee), is a sausage derived from the Italian mortadella, a similar-looking, finely ground pork sausage, originally from the city of Bologna (IPA: [boˈloɲɲa] (listen)). Typical seasonings for bologna include black pepper, nutmeg, allspice, celery seed and coriander, and, like mortadella, myrtle berries give it its distinctive flavor.Other common names include parizer (Parisian sausage) in Hungary, Romania, and the countries of the former Yugoslavia, polony in Zimbabwe, Zambia, South Africa and Western Australia, devon in most states of Australia, and fritz in South Australia.In North America, a simple and popular use is in the bologna sandwich.

    Polony is a type of processed meat that is commonly eaten in countries like Australia, South Africa, the United Kingdom and others. It is typically made from leftover meats that are blended together with spices and preservatives before being formed into a large sausage shape. The meat mix is then cooked and sometimes smoked, before being cooled and sliced for use in sandwiches or other dishes. The texture of polony is generally fine and smooth, and its flavor can vary based on the particular blend of meats and spices used in its preparation. It is considered a type of sausage.

  1. Polony

    Polony is a contraction of "polymerase colony," a small colony of DNA. Polonies are discrete clonal amplifications of a single DNA molecule, grown in a gel matrix. This approach greatly improves the signal-to-noise ratio. Polonies can be generated using several techniques that include solid-phase PCR in polyacrylamide gels. However, other earlier patented technologies, such as that from Manteia Predictive Medicine, which generate DNA on a solid phase surface by bridge amplification - are generally referred to as "Clusters". The terminology and distinction between 'polony' and 'cluster' have become confused recently. Growth of clonal copies of DNA on bead surfaces remains to be generically named although some also seek to name this technique as a "polony" method. The concept of localizing and analyzing regions containing clonal nucleic acid populations was first described in patents by Brown, et al.., however these are in liquid phase. Clusters are distinct in that they are based on solid-phase amplification of single DNA molecules where the DNA has been covalently attached to a surface. This technology,initially coined "DNA colony generation", had been invented and developed in late 1996 at Glaxo-Welcome's Geneva Biomedical Research Institute, by Dr Pascal Mayer and Dr Laurent Farinelli, and was publicly presented for the first time in 1998. It was finally brought to market by Illumina
