biotechnology Definition and Topics - 99 Discussions

Biotechnology is a broad area of biology, involving the use of living systems and organisms to develop or make products. Depending on the tools and applications, it often overlaps with related scientific fields. In the late 20th and early 21st centuries, biotechnology has expanded to include new and diverse sciences, such as genomics, recombinant gene techniques, applied immunology, and development of pharmaceutical therapies and diagnostic tests. The term biotechnology was first used by Karl Ereky in 1919, meaning the production of products from raw materials with the aid of living organisms.

    Scientists engineer E. coli that eats carbon dioxide

    E. coli is one of the best studied and most widely used bacteria in biotechnology. This week, published in the journal Cell, researchers report having engineered the bacterium to be able to generate all of its carbon from CO2, opening the way toward using these bacteria for replacement of...

    RAPD - close proximity of primers

    I was reading RAPD kit manual by himedia and couldn't understand why the two primers should be at close proximity and in opposite orientation to actually amplify DNA. 'In RAPD analysis, for PCR to occur: a) the primers must anneal in a particular orientation (such that they point towards each...

    The end of mosquitoes?

    Mosquitoes are responsible for spreading a number of human diseases (including malaria, Dengue fever, and Zika virus), and account for nearly half a million deaths per year worldwide. For many years, scientists have been investigating technologies that could help control or even eliminate...

    Biotechnology- pUC vectors

    'The MCSs of many vectors such as the pUC series are flanked by sequences complementary to a universal series of primers, the M13 forward and reverse primers. These priming sites are oriented such that extension of the primers annealed to these sites allows sequencing of both ends of an insert...

    What is alpha-complementation?

    I am completely stumped by this question. I can't understand what is meant by complementation. Here's an excerpt from Primrose: 'The activity of the enzyme b-galactosidase is easily monitored by including in the growth medium the chromogenic substrate 5-bromo- 4-chloro-3-indolyl-b-D-galactoside...
