Examples of biotechnology in the following topics:
-
-
- Biotechnology is the use of biological techniques and engineered organisms to make products or plants and animals that have desired traits.
- People have used biotechnology processes, such as selectively breeding animals and fermentation, for thousands of years .
- The field of biotechnology continues to accelerate with new discoveries and new applications expected to benefit the economy throughout the 21st century.
- Biotechnology products have made it easier to detect and diagnose illnesses.
- More than 400 clinical diagnostic devices using biotechnology products are in use today.
-
- Relying on the study of DNA, genomics analyzes entire genomes, while biotechnology uses biological agents for technological advancements.
- Another rapidly-advancing field that utilizes DNA is biotechnology.
- Biotechnology was used for breeding livestock and crops long before the scientific basis of these techniques was understood.
- Since the discovery of the structure of DNA in 1953, the field of biotechnology has grown rapidly through both academic research and private companies.
- Biotechnology also has many industrial applications, such as fermentation, the treatment of oil spills, and the production of biofuels.
-
- Some of the earliest biotechnology used prokaryotes for the production of food products such as cheese, bread, wine, beer, and yogurt.
- Genetic engineering, artificial selection, antibiotic production, and cell culture are current topics of study in biotechnology.
- However, humans have used prokaryotes before the term biotechnology was even coined.
- Some of the products derived from the use of prokaryotes in early biotechnology include (a) cheese, (b) wine, (c) beer and bread, and (d) yogurt.
- Discuss the origins of food biotechnology as indicated by the production of cheese, bread, wine, beer, and yogurt
-
- From manipulation of mutant genes to enhanced resistance to disease, biotechnology has allowed advances in medicine.
- It is easy to see how biotechnology can be used for medicinal purposes.
- With modern biotechnology, these genes can be used as targets for the development of effective new therapies, which could significantly shorten the drug discovery process.
- Modern biotechnology can be used to manufacture existing drugs more easily and cheaply.
- Since then, modern biotechnology has made it possible to produce more easily and cheaply the human growth hormone, clotting factors for hemophiliacs, fertility drugs, erythropoietin, and other drugs.
-
- Biotechnological advances in gene manipulation techniques have further resulted in the production of vaccines, antibiotics, and hormones.
- Antibiotics are biotechnological products that inhibit bacterial growth or kill bacteria.
- Discuss the methods by which biotechnology is used to produce vaccines, antibiotics, and hormones.
-
- Because of their symbiotic properties, scientists often use Alphaproteobacteria of the genus Agrobacterium to transfer foreign DNA into plant genomes, and they also have many other biotechnological properties.
- The currently accepted taxonomy is based on the List of Prokaryotic names with Standing in Nomenclature (LPSN) and National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) and the phylogeny is based on 16S rRNA-based LTP release 106 by 'The All-Species Living Tree' Project.
-
- Microbes also have an important place in most higher-order multicellular organisms as symbionts, and they are also exploited by people in biotechnology, both in traditional food and beverage preparation, and in modern technologies based on genetic engineering.
-
- Closely linked to the biotechnology industry.
-
- Ethical concerns have surfaced about this biotechnology and the prospect of editing the human germline and making so-called 'designer babies'.
- As in many of these biotechnology areas there is considerable controversy in the use of GMOs.
