Flashcards Listing

: the process of changing which type of hemoglobin a red blood cell produces, shifting from adult sickled hemoglobin to fetal hemoglobin as a therapeutic approach to sickle cell disease

: biotechnologies that enable intentional and repeatable generation of medicines across many diseases or products for agriculture and sustainability

: protecting, maintaining, or improving people's health before they get sick by providing interventions targeted to pre-disease states for those that are seemingly healthy but at risk

: the use of vast computational power to create biological designs with desired properties by inferring the principals of biology from large datasets

: the accumulated hours of cool winter temperatures that certain fruit and nut trees need during dormancy to prepare for flowering and fruiting in the spring and summer

: the capacity of soil to function as a living ecosystem that sustains plants, animals, and people

: nature-based sustainability initiatives upstream or downstream of a company’s operations that reduce greenhouse gas emissions and increase carbon storage, enhancing the carbon emissions reduction capacity of a supply chain

: the trillions of microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, archaea, protozoa, and fungi, that are found within and on the human body

: products used to combat stressors and promote crop health, derived from or inspired by naturally occurring substances and organisms

: the computational challenge of determining the amino acid sequence that produces a desired protein structure

: any genetically driven disease that stems from a premature termination codon mutation, which prevent the formation of a complete and functional protein

: the use of genetic code to discover the foundations of small molecule medicines
