“Health Kit” is a simple-to-use, affordable home diagnostic assay kit leveraging novel bio-indicators of health, useful in the clinic and community, and meeting the needs of diverse populations to decrease disparities in health outcomes.

abiotic stress is the negative impact of non-living factors on the living organisms in a specific environment, including extremes in drought, heat, cold, and precipitation.

applied genomics use is all non-research uses other than a diagnostic use, for example, forensic testing, paternity testing, agricultural/food testing, and non-human diagnostics and testing.

artificial cell same as synthetic cell or minimal cell is an engineered particle that mimics one or many functions of a biological cell.

bio-indicators of health are the indicators that can be monitored as part of standard healthy living and preventative medicine practice, such as immune competency or microbiome composition.

biobank is a large-scale biomedical database and research resource, containing in-depth genetic and health information.

biofoundry is an integrated molecular biology facility that includes robotic liquid-handling equipment, high-throughput analytical equipment, and the software, personnel and data management systems required to run the equipment and broader biofoundry capabilities.

biorefinery technology is biomass conversion techs that can efficiently break down biomass into its components (e.g., lignin, hemicellulose, and cellulose).

biosafety is a framework that describes the use of specific practices, training, safety equipment, and specially designed buildings to protect the worker, community, and environment from an accidental exposure or unintentional release of infectious agents and toxins.

biosecurity is the prevention of disease causing agents entering or leaving any place where they can pose a risk to farm animals, other animals, humans, or the safety and quality of a food product.

biotic stress is the negative impact to an organism by other living organisms, such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, parasites, beneficial and harmful insects, weeds, and cultivated or native plants.

bottom-up biological design is approach used to design and construct a more complex system by piecing together simple parts.

cercular economy is the group of markets that give incentives to reusing products, rather than scrapping them and then extracting new resources. In such an economy, all forms of waste, such as clothes, scrap metal and obsolete electronics, are returned to the economy or used more efficiently.

digital twins is a virtual representation of an object or system that spans its lifecycle, is updated from real-time data, and uses simulation, machine learning and reasoning to help decision making.

end-to-end encryption (E2EE) is a method of secure communication that prevents third parties from accessing data while it's transferred from one end system or device to another.

engineered living materials are biomaterials that contain living cells (responsive function) and polymeric matrices (scaffolding function) and, thus, can be designed as active and response biomaterials, e.g. abiotic-biotic systems.

epigenome is the set of chemical modifications to the DNA and DNA-associated proteins in the cell, which alter gene expression, and are heritable (via meiosis and mitosis).

genetic engineering (also called genetic modification) is a process that uses laboratory-based technologies to alter the DNA makeup of an organism. This may involve changing a single base pair (A-T or C-G), deleting a region of DNA or adding a new segment of DNA.

germplasm is the term used to describe the seeds, plants, or plant parts useful in crop breeding, research, and conservation efforts.

metabolome is the global collection of all low molecular weight metabolites that are produced by cells during metabolism, and provides a direct functional readout of cellular activity and physiological status.

non-viral delivery vehicles are physical or chemical delivery mechanisms, such as lipid or polymeric nanoparticles, that doesn't use a virus as a blueprint or plan.

nutrient management practices are practices such as precision application, more efficient delivery systems, and sustainable fertilizer formulations that enable more efficient nutrient cycling with reduced environmental impact.

phenome similar to phenotype, is the set of all traits expressed by a cell, tissue, organ, organism, or species.?

proteome is an expression of an organism's genome; the complete set of proteins expressed by an organism or the assortment of proteins produced at a specific time in a particular cell or tissue type.

synthetic minimal plant is a plant that can be used as a chassis for food, feedstock, chemical, or pharmaceutical production.

top-down biological design is approach characterized by breaking down a complex system into component parts.

transcriptome is the full range of messenger RNA, or mRNA, molecules expressed.
