SUMMARY: The first video of BioByte101 gives an introduction to what Biotechnology is and also provides us an overview to its many applications. The speaker Dr. David Targan defined biotechnology as the use of cells and the cellular process to improve our world‚ to help combat disease‚ develop renewable resources‚ reduce our environmental impact and grow more food. Goals of biotechnology include finding answers to questions to live a long healthy life and to cure many debilitating diseases

technology (GCT) in his essay‚ "The Enhanced and the Unenhanced." Michael Pollan alludes to a potato called the New Leaf Superior that produces its own insecticide in "Playing God in the Garden." While Pollan ’s essay deals with the role of biotechnology to enhance agricultural products‚ Stock ’s essay points to the ways in which technology has helped humans in their development and claims that the genetic choice technology in particular will be the next hope for humanity.

Bioscience‚ a biotechnology firm based in California‚ faces the challenge of commercializing a product with potential and considerable public health benefits. Ventria had developed a ground-breaking technology using genetically modified (GM) rice to grow the proteins lactoferrin and lysozyme‚ both found in human breast milk‚ which can be used for the treatment of diarrhea in children‚ tourists and the military.

This enhances the specific binding of the proteins compared to nitrocellulose. Thus‚ it helps to reduce the number of false positives significantly. It enables us to screen for immunogenic proteins in a shorter The correct insert size was determined by Colony PCR.

Draft: Introduction: Transgenesis is the process by which new characteristic(s) can be introduced into an organism that it did not have previously. Exogenous gene(S)– called transgene- are introduced into an animal through the use of recombinant DNA technology. The extra genes or gene may come from same species or from a completely different species. Transgenesis has many beneficial applications for human application such as producing milk with human proteins‚ which help with treatment of

Our ancestors first cultivated plants some ten thousand years ago. They domesticated animals later and then selectively bred both plants and animals to meet various requirements for human food. Humans discovered natural biological processes such as fermentation of fruits and grains to make wine and beer‚ and yeast for baking bread. Manipulation of foods is not a new story‚ therefore. The latest agricultural discovery uses genetic engineering technology to modify foods. Farmers and plant breeders
