Prenatal diagnosis or prenatal screening (note that prenatal diagnosis and prenatal screening refer to two different types of tests) is testing for diseases or conditions in a fetus or embryo befor...
Gene expression is the process by which information from a gene is used in the synthesis of a functional gene product. These products are often proteins, but in non-protein coding genes such as tra...
Chimeric viruses
The complement system distinguishes "self" from "non-self" via a range of specialized cell-surface and soluble proteins. These homologous proteins belong to a family called the "regulators of compl...

Hepatitis B virus, abbreviated HBV, is a species of the genus Orthohepadnavirus, which is likewise a part of the Hepadnaviridae family of viruses.[1] This virus causes the disease hepatitis B.
Retroviridae is a family of enveloped viruses that replicate in a host cell through the process of reverse transcription. A retrovirus is a single-stranded positive sense RNA virus with a DNA inter...
The IκB kinase (IKK) is an enzyme complex that is involved in propagating the cellular response to inflammation.[1] The IκB kinase enzyme complex is part of the upstream NF-κB signal transductio...
A nucleic acid test, often called a "NAT", (or nucleic acid amplification test - "NAAT") is a molecular technique used to detect a virus or a bacterium. These tests were developed to shorten the wi...
Semiconductor structure fabrication
Geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate synthetase is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the GGPS1 gene.[1][2][3] This gene is a member of the prenyltransferase family and encodes a protein with gerany...
Manipulation of large genomic regions
RAD52 homolog (S. cerevisiae), also known as RAD52, is a protein which in humans is encoded by the RAD52 gene. The protein encoded by this gene shares similarity with Saccharomyces cerevisiae Rad5...
The name electrospray is used for an apparatus that employs electricity to disperse a liquid or for the fine aerosol resulting from this process. The method is sometimes improperly called electrohy...

Display for three-dimensional images
Calcitonin gene related peptide (CGRP) is a member of the calcitonin family of peptides, which in humans exists in two forms, α-CGRP and β-CGRP. α-CGRP is a 37-amino acid peptide and is formed from...
Mass spectrometry (MS) is an analytical chemistry technique that helps identify the amount and type of chemicals present in a sample by measuring the mass-to-charge ratio and abundance of gas-phase...
