Flagship Flashcards

: the computational challenge of determining the amino acid sequence that produces a desired protein structure

: biotechnologies that enable intentional and repeatable generation of medicines across many diseases or products for agriculture and sustainability

: the trillions of microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, archaea, protozoa, and fungi, that are found within and on the human body

: the synthesis of machine, human, and nature’s intelligence to form a collaborative network that leverages the creativity and imagination of humans, the adaptive problem-solving capabilities of nature, and the speed and scale of machines

: the process of changing which type of hemoglobin a red blood cell produces, shifting from adult sickled hemoglobin to fetal hemoglobin as a therapeutic approach to sickle cell disease

: a genome engineering technology based on mobile genetic elements that consists of a protein and an RNA or DNA template to effect a therapeutic change

: nature-based sustainability initiatives upstream or downstream of a company’s operations that reduce greenhouse gas emissions and increase carbon storage, enhancing the carbon emissions reduction capacity of a supply chain

: the accumulated hours of cool winter temperatures that certain fruit and nut trees need during dormancy to prepare for flowering and fruiting in the spring and summer

: therapeutic modalities based on biological building blocks that can be rationally designed and arranged to achieve a desired effect

: a type of mathematical system, inspired by the network of neurons of the human brain, that finds statistical patterns in very large datasets to predict and generate the most probable content following an initial prompt

: protecting, maintaining, or improving people's health before they get sick by providing interventions targeted to pre-disease states for those that are seemingly healthy but at risk

: growing practices that protect, maintain, and enhance ecosystems

: a new class of therapeutics that reprogram diseased cells to release a defined array of signals that precisely coordinate multicellular networks to drive disease resolution

: the use of vast computational power to create biological designs with desired properties by inferring the principals of biology from large datasets

: the study of genetic variation found within each cell of a multicellular organism

: a level of intelligence that surpasses the existing intellect of both humans and nature and leverages the full spectrum of human scientific knowledge and the adaptive intelligence derived from nature's evolutionary processes

: a biologic synthesized entirely from nontraditional amino acids

: farm management practices that restore soil health, encourage biodiversity, safeguard water resources, and increase climate resilience while reducing greenhouse gas emissions and increasing productivity and profitability

: products used to combat stressors and promote crop health, derived from or inspired by naturally occurring substances and organisms

: farming practices that leverage nature-based methods to increase atmospheric carbon sequestration in plant biomass and soil and decrease greenhouse gas emissions

: environmental factors that negatively impact plant health

: an artificial intelligence (AI) training technique based on trial and error that uses positive and negative feedback to teach the AI to perform a desired task in accordance with maximizing positive feedback

: any genetically driven disease that stems from a premature termination codon mutation, which prevent the formation of a complete and functional protein

: the capacity of soil to function as a living ecosystem that sustains plants, animals, and people

: a permit representing one metric tonne of carbon dioxide that is generated by quantifying and verifying the impact of nature-based methods in either avoiding carbon emissions or increasing the amount of carbon stored in the land
