The National Library of Medicine (NLM), on the campus of the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland, is the world's largest medical library. The Library collects materials and provides information and research services in all areas of biomedicine and health care.
Genetic change occurring in a germ cell which does not cause dysfunction of the gamete but which is lethal to the fertilized egg or developing embryo which develops from it.
Note: Induction of a dominant lethal event after exposure to a chemical substance (dominant lethal test) indicates that the substance has affected germinal tissue of the test species.
Industry:Biology; Chemistry
Genetic constitution of an organism as revealed by genetic or molecular analysis; the complete set of genes possessed by a particular organism, cell, organelle or virus.
Industry:Biology; Chemistry
Genetically based unusually high sensitivity of an organism to the effect of certain substances.
Industry:Biology; Chemistry
Germ cell layer of the embryo from which a given adult tissue develops.
Industry:Biology; Chemistry
Global study of the structure and function of carbohydrates, especially oligosaccharides (short chains of sugars) in a living organism.

Industry:Biology; Chemistry
Granular growth or tumor, usually of lymphoid and epithelial cells.
Industry:Biology; Chemistry
Graph of the relation between dose and the magnitude of the biological change produced measured in appropriate units.
Industry:Biology; Chemistry
Graph of the relation between dose and the proportion of individuals in a population responding with a defined biological effect.
Industry:Biology; Chemistry
Graphical method for analysing binding of a molecule A to a macromolecule P with n binding sites. A Hill plot of lg(Θ/(1-Θ)) vs lg(A) has a slope of 1 if binding is non-co-operative and >1 for co-operative binding, where Θ = (A)bound/n(P)total is the fraction of sites occupied.
