  • Generic MedicineA generic medicine is a medicine that is developed to be the same as a medicine that has already been authorised, called the 'reference medicine'.A generic medicine contains the same active substances as the reference medicine, and it is used at the same doses to treat the same diseases.(...)

  • GenomeThe genome is an organism™s complete set of genetic instructions. Each genome contains all of the information needed to build that organism and allow it to grow and develop. The genome includes both the genes and the non-coding sequences of the DNA/RNA. The human genome contains about 35,000(...)
  • Genome-wide association studyIn genetics, a genome-wide association study is an observational study of a genome-wide set of genetic variants in different individuals to see if any variant is associated with a trait.
  • GWASIn genetics, a genome-wide association study is an observational study of a genome-wide set of genetic variants in different individuals to see if any variant is associated with a trait.
  • Genome-wide inferred studyIn genetics, a genome-wide inferred study is an observational study of a genome-wide set of genetic variants in different individuals to see if any variant is inferred from a trait.
  • GWISIn genetics, a genome-wide inferred study is an observational study of a genome-wide set of genetic variants in different individuals to see if any variant is inferred from a trait.
  • Genomic MarkerA genomic marker (or genetic marker) is a specific gene or DNA sequence that is associated with a known characteristic. They are used to study the relationship between diseases and genetics. A genetic marker can serve as a flag for another gene. It must be on the same chromosome and near(...)
