|---|---|
| natural history | A former branch of knowledge embracing the study, description, and classification of natural objects (as animals, plants, and minerals) and thus including the modern sciences of zoology, botany, and mineralogy insofar as they existed at that time. In the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries it was much used for the generalised pursuit of certain areas of science. (webster, 3d ed; from dr. James h. Cassedy, nlm history of medicine division) (12 Dec 1998) |
| alu-equivalent family | A set of sequences in a mammalian genome that is related to the human Alu family. (05 Mar 2000) |
| alu family | A set of dispersed sequences in the human genome having Alu cleavage sites at each end. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cancer family | A group of blood relatives of whom several have had cancer; the mode of aggregation may be genetic and homogeneous, as in familial polyposis of the colon; diverse as in neurofibromatosis; or due to common exposure to a carcinogenic or oncogenic agent, such as a virus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| gene family | <molecular biology> A set of genes coding for diverse proteins which, by virtue of their high degree of sequence similarity, are believed to have evolved from a single ancestral gene. An example is the immunoglobulin family where the characteristic features of the constant domains are found in various cell surface receptors. (18 Nov 1997) |
| phage integrase family | <enzyme> Enzymes that mediate site specific recombination in prokaryotes. They fall into two families, phage integrases and resolvases. (18 Nov 1997) |
| physicians, family | Those physicians who have completed the education requirements specified by the american academy of family physicians. (12 Dec 1998) |
| multigene family | <molecular biology> A set of genes coding for diverse proteins which, by virtue of their high degree of sequence similarity, are believed to have evolved from a single ancestral gene. An example is the immunoglobulin family where the characteristic features of the constant domains are found in various cell surface receptors. (18 Nov 1997) |
| professional-family relations | The interactions between the professional person and the family. (12 Dec 1998) |
| src-family kinases | <enzyme> Family of non-receptor protein-tyrosine kinases homologous to src. They are closely related intracellular enzymes that participate in signal transduction pathways in a variety of haemopoietic cells and especially their surface receptors. Registry number: EC 2.7.1.- (12 Dec 1998) |
| nuclear family | A family composed of husband and wife with their children. (12 Dec 1998) |
| extended family | A group of persons comprising members of several generations united by blood, adoptive, marital or equivalent ties. (05 Mar 2000) |
| extended family therapy | A type of family therapy that involves family members outside the nuclear family and who are closely associated with it and affect it. (05 Mar 2000) |
| family | A taxonomic classification between genus and order. (09 Oct 1997) |
