German term

Genprogramm

German to English Medical Genetics Book review
This is from a book review. Is "genetic programme" an acceptable translation or is there a more technical term. Medicine isn't really my field! Thank you for any suggestions.

Frauen leben länger als Männer. Die Erklärung dafür ist einfach: Ihr Körper ist besser als der des Mannes. Er hat mehr Funktionen, ist anpassungsfähiger und in der Lage, **Genprogramme** zu aktivieren, die es im Körper des Mannes gar nicht gibt. Doch der weibliche Köper ist auch anfälliger gegenüber Störungen von außen.

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

genetic programme


...fits your context perfectly IMO...many references, e.g.:

"What is the nature of the genetic programme that allows neurons to extend their axons and connect to other neurons with a high degree of specificity?..."
