Pluripotent stem cells are reprogrammed adult cells produced in a lab to take on characteristics of this type of cell:
What is an embryonic stem cell?
Scientist chart the position of known genes and other markers, this process is called:
What is gene mapping?
DNA codings of the same gene, occupying a given position on a chromosome are known as:
What is an allele?
This type of research is directed towards specific objectives and is conducted using animals and other non-animal models such as computers and tissue cultures.
What is applied research?
