Genetic engineering involves editing and changing DNA from different organisms to observe specific phenotypes.

Genetic Engineering

Bioinformatics is a field that uses many approaches to collect and analyze large amounts of genetic information. 

Bioinformatics

The manipulation of genetic material, by replacing defective genes or introducing new genes, to treat or prevent disease. Vectors are used to transport DNA into cells.

Gene therapy

Whole-genome biotechnology are methods that study the entire genome of an organism. 

Whole-genome Biotechnology

Prokaryotes can produce proteins and other substances that molecular biologists utilize for basic research, as well as in medical and industrial applications.

Biotechnology and Industrial Applications of Prokaryotes

Bioprospecting is the search for biological resources, such as plants, bacteria, and other microorganisms in nature, to discover and develop new commercial products like life-saving drugs or treatments.

Bioprospecting

The study of the use of living organisms to make products.

Microbiology covers the scope and sequence requirements for a single-semester microbiology course for non-majors. The book presents the core concepts of microbiology with a focus on applications for careers in allied health. The pedagogical features of the text make the material interesting and accessible while maintaining the career-application focus and scientific rigor inherent in the subject matter. Microbiology’s art program enhances students’ understanding of concepts through clear and effective illustrations, diagrams, and photographs.

Microbiology is produced through a collaborative publishing agreement between OpenStax and the American Society for Microbiology Press. The book aligns with the curriculum guidelines of the American Society for Microbiology.

OpenStax Microbiology Textbook

The study of small organisms ranging from one cell to few cells to no cells at all. It encompasses fields such as virology, bacteriology, protistology, & mycology.

Microbiology

Evolutionary Biology studies the processes that produced the diversity of life on earth or study of the phylogenetic history of organisms on earth.

Evolutionary Biology

The scientific field of study of nervous system function and development. The human nervous system is comprised of the central (brain and spinal cord) and peripheral  (nerves and ganglia branching from brain and spinal cord) nervous systems. These are referred to as the CNS and PNS, respectively.

Neuroscience (Neurobiology)

The molecular structures and processes of cellular life and their roles in the function, reproduction, and development of living organisms.

Molecular and Cellular Biology

Biochemistry is the scientific discipline that studies the chemistry of life processes, with the primary objective of explaining biological form and function through chemical principles.

Biochemistry

Ecology is a scientific discipline that focuses on interactions of living things in relation to their environment, and encourages understanding of the environment as our home.

Ecology

The study of the structure of living organisms.

Anatomy

Biotechnology

Also called plant biology or plant science, this is the study of plants.

Botany (Phytology)

The study of the biology of organisms in oceans.

Marine biology

Phycology (Algology)

The study of functions in living organisms (how the organism works). 

Physiology

Zoology

Includes the interdisciplinary sciences that focuses on the study of health and health care in both practical applications and research. 

Health Sciences

Biology

The scientific field of study of traits and their passage from parents to offspring. Humans inherit 23 chromosomes from the father, and 23 from the mother. These 23 pairs of chromosomes consist of 22 autosomal chromosome pairs and one sex chromosome pair. The physical unit of inheritance is a gene, comprised of DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid) segments.
