branch

(noun)

An area in business or of knowledge, research.

Examples of branch in the following topics:

  • The Deltaproteobacteria

    • The Deltaproteobacteria comprise a branch of predominantly aerobic genera, the fruiting-body-forming Myxobacteria that release myxospores in unfavorable environments.
    • It is a branch of strictly anaerobic genera, which contains most of the known sulfate- (Desulfovibrio, Desulfobacter, Desulfococcus, Desulfonema, etc. ) and sulfur-reducing bacteria (e.g.
  • Aquificales and Thermotogales

    • In the 16S rRNA gene trees, the Aquificae species branch in the proximity of the phylum Thermotogae (another phylum comprising hyperthermophiles) close to the archaeal-bacterial branch point.
    • However, a close relationship of the Aquificae to Thermotogae and the deep branching of Aquificae is not supported by phylogenetic studies based upon other gene/protein sequences and also by conserved signature indels in several highly conserved universal proteins.
    • In the 16S rRNA trees the Thermotogae have been observed to branch with the Aquificae in close proximity to the archaeal-bacterial branch point.
  • Aquifex, Thermocrinis, and Related Bacteria

    • In the 16S rRNA gene trees, the Aquificae species branch in the proximity of the phylum Thermotogae (another phylum comprising hyperthermophilic organisms) close to the archaeal-bacterial branch point.
    • However, a close relationship of the Aquificae to Thermotogae, and the deep branching of Aquificae, is not supported by phylogenetic studies based upon other gene/protein sequences and also by conserved signature indels in several highly-conserved universal proteins.
  • Descriptive Epidemiology

    • In order to accomplish this, epidemiology has two main branches: descriptive and analytical.
    • The end goal of both branches is to reduce the incidence of health events or diseases by understanding the risk factors for the health events or diseases.
  • Nonribosomal Peptide Antibiotics

    • Nonribosomal peptides often have a cyclic and/or branched structures, can contain non-proteinogenic amino acids including D-amino acids, carry modifications like N-methyl and N-formyl groups, or are glycosylated, acylated, halogenated, or hydroxylated.
    • Nonribosomal peptides are often dimers or trimers of identical sequences chained together or cyclized, or even branched.
  • Subfields of Microbiology

    • The subfields or branches of microbiology are diverse and many.
    • There is considerable overlap between the specific branches of microbiology with each other and with other disciplines.
    • This field includes other branches of microbiology such as:
  • Basic Microbiology

    • Microbiology is a broad term which includes virology, mycology, parasitology, bacteriology, immunology, and other branches.
  • Fusobacteria

    • The pieces of the clot will settle in the lungs and block branches of the pulmonary artery, resulting in shortness of breath, chest pain and pneumonia.
  • Bacteroidetes and Chlorobi

    • The Phlyum Chlorobi is often grouped with the Phlyum Bacteroidetes because their branches are very close together in the phylogenetic tree.
  • Overview of Gram-Positive Bacteria and Actinobacteria

    • Some Actinobacteria form branching filaments, which somewhat resemble the mycelia of the unrelated fungi, among which they were originally classified under the older name Actinomycetes.
