That's applied biotechnology, I think.

There are some bits in GETA where one of the protagonists is trying to develop evolutionary biology, despite not having very important a piece of information.

There's something I imagine exists in real science, that little mental click when you turn the model half a degree and suddenly what looked like a handful of unrelated phenomena turn out to be related on a fudamental level. One of Stableford's recent books had that, when the protagonsit suddenly realizes everyone was making an incorrect assumption about the scale something was happening on.
