(a)  

The branch of science that studies how molecules, such as DNA and proteins, are made in the cell

(a)  

the manipulation of genetic material; adding or deleting DNA to an organism's genome

(a)  

A method to separate molecules based upon their properties

(a)  

the use of applied biology to create, develop, or modify products

(a)  

the branch of biology that studies cell structures and functions

(a)  

the branch of science that studies viruses

(a)  

an instrument that can be used to determine the concentration of a sample of a colored substance

(a)  

An experiment that takes place with cells in an artificial environment, such as a test tube or petri dish

(a)  

the process by which cells are grown under controlled conditions, generally outside their natural environment

(a)  

the branch of science that studies how genes are inherited and how genes work

(a)  

the use of information technology for biological applications, such as predicting molecular shapes

(a)  

an experiment that is performed on a multicellular organism

(a)  

Microscopic organisms, such as bacteria, viruses, archaea, fungi and protozoa.

(a)  

a protein that has been created from genetically engineered DNA

(a)

(a)  

a biotechnology technique that uses multiple cycles of heating and cooling to amplify (copy) specific DNA sequences

(a)  

the process by which pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries identify candidate molecules that show biological activity--i.e., have the potential to become new drugs

(a)  

A solid support, such as a microscope slide or chip, that has a large amount of microscopic spots of materials to be assayed (tested).

(a)  

Areas of study that apply nonbiological nanoscale devices to solve biological problems. Can also refer to biologically based nanodevices that are used to solve any problem.

(a)  

the practice of medicine in which therapies are developed for, or directed at, the patients most likely to benefit from them, rather than using a one-size-fits all approach to health care and treatment

(a)  

a device that can measure a biological or chemical signal. 

(a)  

the use of either naturally occurring or deliberately introduced microorganisms or other forms of life to consume and break down environmental pollutants, in order to clean up a polluted site.

(a)  

A method, often used in forensics and conservation biology, that allows a comparison of the genetic material of organisms.
