As research in many fields had identified thousands of possible disease targets for antibody therapy‚ major pharmaceutical and biotech companies expressed their interest and many had licensed access to

Alongside that story‚ we are introduced to Kevin Marshal‚ a 34-year-old geek who works for GenSys‚ a biotech company. Kevin lives in Equatorial Guinea‚ where he’s doing research using Bonobos‚ a type of primate. Equatorial Guinea is where the second story takes place‚ where Kevin must solve a mystery of his own. Along the way he is helped by Melanie Becket

injected into another. These experimental combinations of genes from different species cannot occur in nature or in traditional crossbreeding. GMOs are engineered to withstand direct application of herbicide and/or to produce all insecticide (Biotech). Ever see an abnormally large fruit? That could most likely be the by-product of a certain gene that was inserted into the fruit in order to produce more product. Another GMO test was done on tomatoes. They were injected with antifreeze genes

The power of science provides possibility and with this possibility doesn’t always generate a good possibility. Jeremy Rifkin in "Biotech Century" and Michael Bishop in "Enemies of Promise" talks about the science as their argument in a casual sense of manner. The fear of the unknowingness of what science can provided for future can be argued in a causal manner with Rifkin and Bishop

APPENDIX 1 8 APPENDIX 2 9 REFERENCES 10 INTRODUCTION The origin of the modern pharmaceutical industry can be traced to the late 19th century. There are five broad types of industry players: Ethical‚ Generic‚ Biotech‚ OTC‚ and Vaccine companies. Ethical drug is key sector with 80% of market share by value and 50% by volume. Key markets are USA‚ Japan‚ The EU‚ China‚ and Mexico. Companies with consistently high levels of R&D spending and productivity have become

INTRODUCTION Genetically modified foods (GM foods or biotech foods) are foods made from genetically modified organisms (GMOs)‚ specifically‚ genetically modified crops. GMOs have had specific changes introduced into their DNA by genetic engineering techniques. These techniques are much more precise than mutagenesis (mutation breeding) where an organism is exposed to radiation or chemicals to create a non-specific but stable change. Other techniques by which humans modify food organisms include selective

Nuclear Power Assignment -Containment structure: This is usually a big concrete dome or structure that protects workers and the area around it from potentially dangerous radiation. The walls of the structure are metres thick of concrete to absorb the radiation. -Reactor: The reactor is the most important part of the process as it produces heat which forms steam to power the turbines therefore creating electricity. It uses uranium-235 or in some cases plutonium-239. -Control rods: Control

Most recently‚ biotech companies have inserted herbicide-resistance genes into wheat‚ fish genes into strawberries‚ human genes into fish and pharmaceuticals like birth control into corn.

------------------------------------------------- GENETIC ENGINEERING Genetic engineering‚ also called genetic modification‚ is the direct manipulation of an organism’s genome using biotechnology. New DNA may be inserted in the host genome by first isolating and copying the genetic material of interest using molecular cloning methods to generate a DNA sequence‚ or by synthesizing the DNA‚ and then inserting this construct into the host organism. Genes may be removed‚ or "knocked out"‚ using a
