Trends in Biotechnology
Biotechnology is a branch of science that uses biomolecular and cellular processes to create healthcare, food, and fuel products. The use of biological systems and creatures is not new; for thousands of years, humans have relied on microorganisms to produce goods such as yoghurt, bread, alcohol, and cheese. The 1970s saw the birth of genetic engineering, which gave rise to biotech based on DNA manipulation. As the need for biotech advances and genetic sequencing activities grows.
