SSP: Sequence-Specific Primer. This is a primer used in PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) that is designed to bind to a specific sequence of DNA.

SBT: Sequence-Based Typing. This is a method used in genetics to determine the sequence of a particular region of DNA.

NGS: Next-Generation Sequencing. This is a term used to describe modern sequencing technologies that allow for the sequencing of DNA and RNA much more quickly and cheaply than previous methods.

TRALI: Transfusion-Related Acute Lung Injury. This is a serious complication that can occur after a blood transfusion, where the lungs become damaged and filled with fluid.
