Replikatsiooniliselt

Replikatsiooniliselt is an Estonian adverb derived from the noun replikatsioon, which translates to “replication” in English. The word literally means “in a replicative manner” or “with respect to replication.” It is most commonly used in scientific contexts, particularly in biology, genetics, and molecular biology, to describe processes, experiments, or observations that involve or are related to DNA replication, cell division, or the duplication of genetic material.

In laboratory protocols, a reagent or a method may be described as replikatsiooniliselt effective if it guarantees accurate duplication of nucleic acids during PCR amplification or when preparing cloning vectors. Researchers might note that a particular cell line grows replikatsiooniliselt at a specific rate, indicating that its proliferation is driven by normal replication mechanisms rather than aberrant or oncogenic processes.

The adverb is analogous to the English term “replicatively” and should not be confused with “recursively,” which refers to a different computational or mathematical concept. While replikatsiooniliselt is grammatically correct and understood by Estonian scientists, it is not widely adopted in popular science writing or lay summaries, where simpler phrasing such as “in the replication process” is often preferred.

Overall, replikatsiooniliselt serves as a concise technical descriptor in Estonian scientific literature, emphasizing the relation of a phenomenon or procedure specifically to the act of replication.
