Biotechnology is the applied science of using living organisms and their by products for commercial development. It has grown and evolved to such an extent over the past few years that increasing numbers of professionals work in areas directly impacted by it. The applications of biotechnology are so broad, and the advantages so compelling, that virtually every industry is using this technology. Developments are underway in areas as diverse as pharmaceuticals, diagnostics, textiles, aquaculture, forestry, chemicals, household products, environmental cleanup, food processing and forensics to name a few. This book offers an exciting overview of biotechnology for professionals and students in a wide array of the life sciences including genetics, biochemistry, agronomy, food science and animal science.
