This Thesaurus is designed to facilitate searching of the Derwent BIOTECHNOLOGY ABSTRACTS online database.
The list of searchable keywords found in the Thesaurus is, unvavoidably, not comprehensive since terminology used in Titles and Abstracts is a mixture of controlled and uncontrolled terms. In addition, novel terms frequently appear in the database. Therefore, the absence of a term from this Thesaurus does not imply that the word cannot be found in the database.
