For the analysis of computation in natural organisms, see Biological computation. Biological computers use biologically derived molecules — such as DNA and/or proteins — to perform digital or real computations . The development of biocomputers has been made possible by the expanding new science of nanobiotechnology.
Orthoptics is a profession allied to the eye care profession. Orthoptists are the experts in diagnosing and treating defects in eye movements and problems with how the eyes work together, called binocular vision. These can be caused by issues with the muscles around the eyes or defects in the nerves enabling the brain to communicate with the eyes.
Starting in 1990, by 1999, chromosome 22 became the first human chromosome to be completely sequenced. Computational biology refers to the use of data analysis, mathematical modeling and computational simulations to understand biological systems and relationships. [1] An intersection of computer science, biology, and big data, the field also ...
v. t. e. A digital organism is a self-replicating computer program that mutates and evolves. Digital organisms are used as a tool to study the dynamics of Darwinian evolution, and to test or verify specific hypotheses or mathematical models of evolution. The study of digital organisms is closely related to the area of artificial life .
Definitions. A ribosome is a biological machine that utilizes protein dynamics. At the first C.E.C. Workshop, in Brussels in November 1991, bioelectronics was defined as 'the use of biological materials and biological architectures for information processing systems and new devices'. Bioelectronics, specifically bio-molecular electronics, were ...
Biological computation. The concept of biological computation proposes that living organisms perform computations, and that as such, abstract ideas of information and computation may be key to understanding biology. [1] [2] As a field, biological computation can include the study of the systems biology computations performed by biota [3] [4] [5 ...
Virtual touch screen. A virtual touch screen (VTS) is a user interface system that augments virtual objects into reality either through a projector or optical display using sensors to track a person's interaction with the object. For instance, using a display and a rear projector system a person could create images that look three-dimensional ...
This glossary of biology terms is a list of definitions of fundamental terms and concepts used in biology, the study of life and of living organisms.It is intended as introductory material for novices; for more specific and technical definitions from sub-disciplines and related fields, see Glossary of cell biology, Glossary of genetics, Glossary of evolutionary biology, Glossary of ecology ...
