The confidence level represents the proportion (frequency) of acceptable confidence intervals that contain the true value of the unknown parameter.

The coexistence of multiple alleles at a locus in a population is called genetic polymorphism. A locus is usually defined as polymorphic if two or more alleles are present at a frequency of more than 1% in the population.

Sections of DNA that are conserved among species can be identified by performing a zoo blot. We use short fragments from the region as labeled probes to test for homologous DNA from a variety of species by Southern blotting.

Technique that allows genomic fragments to be rapidly scanned for the presence of exons is called exon trapping.
