A mouse-human hybrid is a genetically modified mouse whose genome has both mouse and human genes, thus being a murine form of a human-animal hybrid. For example, genetically modified mice may be born with human leukocyte antigen genes in order to provide a more realistic environment when introducing human white blood cells into them in order to ...
Although the BioMart software is primarily used by the biomedical research community, it is designed in such a way that any type of data can be incorporated into the BioMart framework. The BioMart project originated at the European Bioinformatics Institute as a data management solution [1] for the Human Genome Project. [2]
A mouse unit (MU) is the amount of toxin required to kill a 20g mouse in 15 minutes via intraperitoneal injection. [1] [2] Mouse units are measured by a mouse bioassay, and are commonly used in the shellfish industry when describing relative toxicities for assessing food safety levels for human consumption.
Most Ensembl Genomes data is stored in MySQL relational databases and can be accessed by the Ensembl REST interface, the Perl API, Biomart or online. [5] Ensembl Genomes is an open project, and most of the code, tools, and data are available to the public. [6] Ensembl and Ensembl Genomes software uses an Apache 2.0 license [7] license.
This is a list of units of measurement based on human body parts or the attributes and abilities of humans (anthropometric units). It does not include derived units further unless they are also themselves human-based. These units are thus considered to be human scale and anthropocentric.
The concept of human-equivalent energy (H-e) assists in understanding of energy flows in physical and biological systems by expressing energy units in human terms: it provides a “feel” for the use of a given amount of energy by expressing it in terms of the relative quantity of energy needed for human metabolism, [4] assuming an average human energy expenditure of 12,500 kJ per day and a ...
A system of units of measurement, also known as a system of units or system of measurement, is a collection of units of measurement and rules relating them to each other. Systems of measurement have historically been important, regulated and defined for the purposes of science and commerce .
In the 1980s, Taconic developed the first Isolated Barrier Unit system, a method of housing rodents in a pathogen-free environment. The company began offering Fischer 344 rats and asthmatic rats from Merck-Frost, Montreal, to the product offerings in 1982, and in 1985 was contracted to supply MPF and germ-free animals for the NASA space shuttle ...
