List of MeSH codes (G05)

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

G05.1 - Genetic Phenomena

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.

• G05.1.1 - DNA Mutational Analysis
• G05.1.2 - Genetic Variation
  • G05.1.2.1 - Mutation
