<p>
The total by Tree Category exceeds 494 because some descriptors occur in more than one category.
</p>
<p>2007 MeSH is available for downloading from the <a href="//www.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/filelist.html">Web site</a> and can be searched and viewed using the <a href="//www.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/MBrowser.html">MeSH Browser</a>.
</p>
<h2>Organisms</h2>
<p>
Thirty-one new virus descriptors were added and 27 descriptors were replaced with more up-to-date terminology. Numerous descriptors for specific DNA viruses were added.
</p>
<h2>
Drugs and Chemicals </h2>
<p>
About half of the new descriptors in 2007 MeSH are drugs or chemicals. Of those, 136 are categorized as amino acids, peptides, and proteins (D12). Many descriptors for apolipoproteins, interleukin receptors, and many specific keratins were added.
