Genetic engineering
base analogues
Biotechnology; Genetic engineering
Unnatural purine or pyrimidine bases that differ slightly in structure from the normal bases, but can be incorporated into nucleic acids. They are often mutagenic.
immunochemical control
Biotechnology; Genetic engineering
Use of immune agents to combat infections.
furfural
Biotechnology; Genetic engineering
Used industrially as a solvent and as a raw material for synthetic resin.
furfuraldehyde
Biotechnology; Genetic engineering
Used industrially as a solvent and as a raw material for synthetic resin.
bleeding
Biotechnology; Genetic engineering
Used to describe the occasional purplish-black coloration of media due to phenolic products given off by (usually fresh) transfers.
viral vaccines
Biotechnology; Genetic engineering
Vaccines consisting of live viruses rather than dead ones or separated parts of viruses. However, as the virus itself cannot be used, because that would simply give the patient the disease, the virus ...
