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

FUTURE OF BIOTECHNOLOGY Anna Treohan 1993 Woodrow Wilson Biology Institute INTRODUCTION The recent emphasis on environmental awareness has challenged scientists to find solutions for better and safer living conditions. The added threat of deadly diseases such as AIDS and resistant strains of tuberculosis and gonorrhea have forced scientists to look for new therapies within the field of biotechnology. The structure of DNA was deciphered by James Watson‚ a geneticist‚ and Francis Crick‚ a physicist

MARINE BIOTECHNOLOGY: A DEVELOPMENT FOR THE FUTURE Biotechnology ’s first impacts occurred on a terrestrial level‚ but "there ’s an end to the diversity of terrestrial life. And if you go back and ask a fundamental question: Where on earth does the biodiversity reside‚ you realize it is the ocean (William Fenical‚ Scripps Institution)." Marine biotechnology is defined as "the application of scientific and engineering principles to the processing of materials by marine biological agents to provide

My Reaction to Agricultural Biotechnology On December 3‚ 2013‚ Rick Welsh‚ a professor of food studies visited Monmouth College to speak about agricultural biotechnology‚ along with how it has been developed and the impacts that it is having on society. After hearing Professor Welsh mention that he was going to be speaking about agricultural biotechnology‚ I instantly thought of the documentary film that I watched a couple days ago‚ The World According to Monsanto. Monsanto is a food company that

BIOTECHNOLOGY AND ITS APPLICATIONS Biotechnology is the use of living systems and organisms to develop or make useful products‚ or "any technological application that uses biological systems‚ living organisms or derivatives thereof‚ to make or modify products or processes for specific use. For thousands of years‚ humankind has used biotechnology in agriculture‚ food production‚ and medicine.[2] The term itself is largely believed to have been coined in 1919 by Hungarian engineer Károly Ereky.
