Carel argues that health should be understood phenomenologically as the experience of being at home in one's lived body, rather than merely the normal functioning of the body seen as a biological unit.
It is by now well recognized that the reliability of an item, be it hardware, software, or a biological unit, depends on the circumstances in which it is employed.
Inter-molecular distances were calculated for all alignments whose representative sequence was present on multiple chains annotated by the PDB file as part of a biological unit (PDB REMARK 350) [24].
An "individual" may be any biological unit that has some measurable phenotype and can leave descendants - including organisms, mated pairs, haplotypes, alleles, etc.
Moreover, because a gene itself is a natural biological unit in genomes, genes provide a natural and feasible unit for forming neighboring SNPs as a marker set.
As Susan Lindee, a historian of science at the University of Pennsylvania, in Philadelphia, points out, today the gene is no longer a simple biological unit, but a "supergene" which has been invested with personality, good or bad, and the power to determine identity, reveal ancient origins, shape family relations and even predict future health.Of course, genetic determinism is nothing new.
Although this approach may be criticized for looking only at parts of a natural biological unit, namely a GRB, it offers other advantages.
A tetramer (biological unit) composed of only main-chain atoms and based on a high resolution X-ray structure of avidin (Airenne, Hytönen et al. unpublished; [PDB 1VYO]) was used as a trial model.
The genome refers to all the genes, including chromosome DNA, all forms of RNA, and transcriptional variants in a certain biological unit.
We define this process as 'integration' and, without it, the completed structure will not function as a cohesive biological unit.
However, many of these efforts have been challenged by the inability of the engrafted populations to properly integrate into the host environment to make a functional biological unit.
