| molecular biology | <study> The study of the biochemistry of cells, it is closely linked to cell biology, in particular the biochemistry of DNA and cogeners. (16 Dec 1997) |
|---|---|
| computational biology | A field of biology concerned with the development of techniques for the collection and manipulation of biological data, and the use of such data to make biological discoveries or predictions. This field encompasses all computational methods and theories applicable to molecular biology and areas of computer-based techniques for solving biological problems including manipulation of models and datasets. (12 Dec 1998) |
| structural biology | <study> The study of the three dimensional structures of biological molecules (such as proteins) and their mutual interactions as a means of understanding the functions of these molecules within the cell. (09 Oct 1997) |
| developmental biology | <study> The study of how a multicellular organism develops from its early immature forms (zygote, larva, embryo, etc.) into an adult. (09 Oct 1997) |
| oral biology | That aspect of biology devoted to the study of biological phenomena associated with the oral cavity in health and disease (e.g., dental caries, mastication, periodontal disease). (05 Mar 2000) |
| electro-biology | 1. <biology> That branch of biology which treats of the electrical phenomena of living organisms. 2. <physics> That phase of mesmerism or animal magnetism, the phenomena of which are supposed to be produced by a form of electricity. (03 Mar 1998) |
| european molecular biology lab gene bank | <molecular biology> A large database of DNA sequence data in Heidelberg, Germany, compiled from international sources. It is the European equivalent to the Genbank DNA sequence databank in the United States of America. WWW: EMbase. (09 Oct 1997) |

| algae and fungi | Algae represent a group of spore-propagating plants, unicellular or undifferentiated into root, stem, and leaf. They include seaweed and many unicellular fresh water plants, most of which contain chlorophyll. They account for about 90% of the earth's photosynthetic activity. Fungi are eukaryotic, heterotrophic organisms that live as saprobes or parasites and include mushrooms, yeasts, smuts, molds, etc. They lack chlorophyll. (12 Dec 1998) |
