The Era of biotechnology.

by | 06-04-2015 01:23 recommendations 0

From the morning I was thinking about my life, it's really getting easier day by day. Its due to technology!!!

We the people of modern world are now living in the era of technology. But what if, there life science can be added to the technology? Yes, the most revolutionizing technology of 21th century is "Biotechnology". Basically biotechnology means the use of biological systems of biological molecules for commercial purposes.

In 1980s the term "Biotechnology" first used. But the beginning of biotechnology was when people started to do fermentation for preparing Alcohol. But now a day's it's not limited only in alcohol rather making success in producing Vaccine, Insulin and other pharmaceuticals.

The most and important topics of now are recombinant DNA technology or Genetic engineering. Recombinant DNA are nothing but a changed DNA from the main from of its. It's basically done in microorganisms especially in bacteria. And genetic engineering is change of DNA or gene in a plant of an animal.

The surprising area of Biotechnology is the Cloning. Who knew an animal or plant can be made only from one cell. Yes all we heard about "Dolly" the first cloned lamb!!! But she died for Arthritis an bone related disease.

So actually we don't know that we are sank in this technology!!! So let's know about it more and unveil the mystery of it.

    Yeap I am also one of the people who are waiting for the breakthrough of Biotechnology. Still, there are a lot of controversies standing on its way. And I do wish human can wisely solve this humanitarian problems and achieve both keeping our dignity and ensuring healthier life.

    Being a veterinary science student we have to study modern biotechnology including molecular genetics in our curriculum. Every basis of life is related to genomic DNA one has, even the micro particles like virus and bacteria has life cycle based on the functioning of these genomes.Biotechnology is a contribution to modern discovery. Its such a vast subject with multiple dimensions.
    Thank you for highlighting Dear Fayshal. Cheers :)

    Modern biotechnology finds applications in diverse areas like health care (medical), crop production and agriculture, non food (industrial) uses of crops and other products (e.g. biodegradable plastics, vegetable oil, biofuels), and environmental uses .The marine and aquatic applications of biotechnology are impressive as well. We are indeed in the era of biotechnology , Thanks for your report , Fayshal.
