List of MeSH codes (G05)

From WikiMD's Wellness Encyclopedia

List of MeSH codes (G05) refers to a comprehensive categorization within the Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) system, specifically focusing on the area of genetic processes. MeSH is a hierarchical vocabulary used for indexing, cataloging, and searching for biomedical and health-related information. The G05 category encompasses terms related to the genetic phenomena and processes of living organisms. This article outlines the subcategories and specific MeSH codes under the G05 classification.

Subcategories and Codes[edit | edit source]

G05.1 - Genetic Phenomena[edit | edit source]

This subcategory includes terms related to the genetic traits and variations observed in organisms. It covers a wide range of genetic phenomena such as Genetic Variation, Mutation, Polymorphism, Genetic, and Genomic Imprinting.

G05.2 - Genetic Processes[edit | edit source]

This section delves into the processes at the genetic level, including DNA Replication, Gene Expression, Recombination, Genetic, and Repair, Genetic. These processes are fundamental to understanding how genetic information is copied, expressed, and maintained in living organisms.

G05.3 - Genetic Structures[edit | edit source]

Genetic structures such as Chromosomes, Genes, Genome, and Plasmids are covered under this subcategory. These terms describe the physical and functional units of heredity and their organization within cells.

G05.4 - Genomic Components[edit | edit source]

Components such as Alleles, Exons, Introns, and Operons that make up the genome are discussed in this section. Understanding these components is crucial for studying the organization, function, and control of genes.

G05.5 - Genetic Techniques[edit | edit source]

Techniques used in genetic research and diagnostics, including Cloning, Molecular, Genetic Testing, Sequence Analysis, DNA, and Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR), are outlined here. These methods are essential tools for genetic engineering, gene therapy, and molecular biology research.
