| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Antibodies | A blood protein produced in response to and counteracting a specific antigen. |
| DNA Fingerprints | A technique by which the DNA of an individual can be compared with that found in a sample or another individual. |
| Antigens | A toxin or other foreign substance that induces an immune response in the body, especially the production of antibodies. |
| Pharming | The process of genetically modifying plants and animals so that they produce substances that may be used as pharmaceuticals. |
| Personalized Medicine | A practice of medicine that uses an individual's genetic profile to guide decisions made in regard to the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of disease. |
| Inoculation | The action of inoculating or of being inoculated |
| Human Genome Project | A global, long-term research effort to identify the estimated 30,000 genes in human DNA and to figure out the sequences of the chemical bases that make up human DNA. |
| Xenografts | A tissue graft or organ transplant from a donor of a different species from the recipient. |
| Organ Transplant | The process of surgically removing an organ or tissue from one person and placing it into another person. |
| Gene Therapy | The transplantation of normal genes into cells in place of missing or defective ones in order to correct genetic disorders. |
| Pathogens | A bacterium, virus, or other microorganism that can cause disease. |
| Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms | A variation in a single base pair in a DNA sequence. |
| Pharmaceuticals | Of or relating to medicinal drugs, or their preparation, use, or sale. |
| Imprinting | Impress or stamp (a mark or outline) on a surface or body. |
| Biomanufacturing | The production of biologics-based therapeutic drugs including protein-based therapeutics, vaccines, gene therapies as well as cell therapies. |
| Personalized Genomics | The branch of genomics concerned with the sequencing and analysis of the genome of an individual. |
| Hormones | A regulatory substance produced in an organism and transported in tissue fluids such as blood or sap to stimulate specific cells or tissues into action. |
| Vaccines | A substance used to stimulate the production of antibodies and provide immunity against one or several diseases. |
| Xenotransplantation | The process of grafting or transplanting organs or tissues between members of different species. |
| Epigenetic Inheritance | An unconventional finding. |
| Markers | A thing serving as a standard of comparison or as an indication of what may be expected. |
| Gwas | The most common approach of Genome Wide Association Study is the case-control setup which compares two large groups of individuals, one healthy control group and one case group affected by a disease. |
| Edible Plant Vaccines | A vaccine in which an antigenic protein is engineered into an edible plant. |
| Genetic Diseases | A genetic problem caused by one or more abnormalities in the genome, especially a condition that is present from birth. |
| Autotransplantation | Transplantation of tissue from one site to another in the same individual. |
| Mesenchymal Stem Cells | Are adult stem cells traditionally found in the bone marrow. |
