F.H. Ruddle, known as Frank Ruddle, was a Yale molecular geneticist who pioneered human gene mapping and created the first transgenic mammal, a mouse carrying foreign DNA.
F.R. Salemme
F.R. Salemme (Francis R. Salemme) is a protein crystallographer known for work on cytochromes, β-sheets, and four-α-helical bundles, with affiliations at the University of Arizona and DuPont.
F/St
F/St is an extinct inbred laboratory mouse strain developed by Strong in 1926 at the Bussey Institute, marked by a silver-grey white-blazed coat, high leukemia in older mice, resistance to methylcholanthrene fibrosarcoma, and high X-MLV expression via Bxv1.
F1 hybrid
F1 hybrid: first-generation seed from crossing two uniform inbred parent lines, showing heterosis (hybrid vigour), 15-20% yield edge over open-pollinated varieties, non-uniform F2 offspring, and dominant in maize and vegetable seed markets.
F11
F11, also known as FXI or PTA, is a human gene on chromosome 4 encoding coagulation factor XI, whose defects cause the mild bleeding disorder hemophilia C.
F11R
F11R (JAM-A, CD321), the F11 receptor gene on 1q23.3, encodes an immunoglobulin-superfamily tight junction protein on epithelia, endothelium, leukocytes, and platelets; a reovirus receptor, platelet aggregation inhibitor, and breast cancer therapeutic target.
F12-associated cold autoinflammatory syndrome
FACAS (FXII-associated cold autoinflammatory syndrome) is a rare autosomal dominant autoinflammatory disease caused by F12 p.W268R mutation, causing cold-induced urticarial rash, arthralgia, and IL-1β and bradykinin-mediated inflammation from infancy.
F420-dependent enzymes
F420-dependent enzymes are oxidoreductases that use the deazaflavin cofactor coenzyme F420 for hydride-transfer reactions, driving methanogenesis in archaea and stress survival and drug activation in mycobacteria.
F420, menaquinone cofactor biosynthesis
Cofactor F420 (coenzyme F420, factor 420), a 5-deazaflavin hydride-carrier redox cofactor of archaea and bacteria, and menaquinone (vitamin K2) biosynthesis; F420 built from Fo headgroup plus PEP-derived bridge and polyglutamate tail, distinct from quinone pathways.
F5
F5 (coagulation factor V, proaccelerin) is the human gene on chromosome 1q24.2 encoding factor V, a dual procoagulant and anticoagulant cofactor; its Leiden variant (R506Q) causes activated protein C resistance thrombophilia, and loss-of-function variants cause factor V deficiency bleeding.
F9
F9 (coagulation factor IX, Christmas factor) is the X-linked human gene at Xq27.1 encoding a vitamin K-dependent serine protease zymogen; mutations cause hemophilia B, treatable by replacement and AAV gene therapy.
Faba bean rust
Faba bean rust, caused by Uromyces viciae-fabae, is a major fungal disease of Vicia faba, causing 5-20% typical yield losses and up to 70% in early epidemics; managed with resistant varieties, fungicides, and wheat intercropping.
Fabaceae
Fabaceae (Leguminosae), the legume family: third-largest angiosperm family, ~751 genera and ~19,500 species, six subfamilies, pod fruits, rhizobial nitrogen fixation, and major food crops like soybean, pea, and bean.
Fabales
Fabales is an order of flowering plants with four families: Fabaceae, Polygalaceae, Quillajaceae, and Surianaceae. The legumes alone hold over 95 percent of its more than 20,000 species.
Fabian Theis
Fabian J. Theis, born 1976, is a German computational biologist who directs the Institute of Computational Biology at Helmholtz Munich and is known for the single-cell software Scanpy.
Fabien Zoulim
Fabien Zoulim is a French hepatologist and virologist known for hepatitis B cure research, who heads hepatology at the Hospices Civils de Lyon and co-founded ICE-HBV.
Fabio Benfenati
Fabio Benfenati, born in Bologna in 1954, is an Italian neurophysiologist at the Italian Institute of Technology in Genova known for work on synaptic transmission and light-sensitive neural interfaces.
Fabio Levi
Fabio Levi, born 1949 in Lausanne, is a Swiss cancer epidemiologist who led the Cancer Epidemiology Unit and the Vaud and Neuchâtel cancer registries at the University of Lausanne.
Fábio Rossi
Fábio Rossi, also known as Fabio M.V. Rossi, is an Italian-trained physician-scientist and professor at the University of British Columbia known for stem cell research.
Fabomotizole
Fabomotizole (Afobazol, Афобазол, CM-346) is a non-benzodiazepine benzimidazole anxiolytic registered in Russia in 2006; a sigma-1 receptor agonist also binding NQO2, MAO-A, and melatonin receptors, dosed 30–60 mg/day for anxiety.
FABP5
FABP5 (E-FABP, K-FABP, PA-FABP, mal1) is a 135-aa, 15.2-kDa cytoplasmic fatty acid-binding protein at 8q21.13, first identified in psoriatic keratinocytes, that delivers fatty acids and retinoic acid to PPARβ/δ and is implicated in psoriasis, cancer, diabetes, and pulmonary fibrosis.
FABP7
FABP7 (brain fatty acid-binding protein, BLBP; Gene ID 2173) is a 14–16 kDa fatty acid chaperone of radial glia and astrocytes; DHA binding sends it to the nucleus, and it regulates cortical scaffold stability, sleep, and glioma prognosis.
