The Molecular Biology sub-domain represents the core concepts related to this domain, including gene, protein, molecular sequence, chromosome, genome, and numerous other related concepts.  Also includes the representation of these concepts in bioinformatics resources, such as public databases.  <br/><br/><font color="#ff0000"><b>Collaboration with other HL7 Work Groups</b>: With the broader scope of BRIDG 4.0 covering translational research and the harmonization of Life Sciences Model and CDISC Pharmogenomic & Pharmocogenetics domains, it is likely that there is some overlap of concepts between BRIDG Molecular Biology subdomain concepts and the models being developed in the HL7 Clinical Genomics (CG) work group.  BRIDG recognizes the Clinical Genomics work group models as peer or sibling models and is committed to working with the CG team to align on common semantics.  The BRIDG team has started the conversation with the CG work group to this effect and plan to continue the dialogue on how to operationalize the collaboration and leverage the subject matter expertise of this HL7 CG group members.  </font><br/>
