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.

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.  
🗑

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
