Biotechnology

Biotechnology is a field of applied biology that involves the use of living organisms and bioprocesses in engineering, technology, medicine and other fields requiring bioproducts. Modern use of similar terms includes genetic engineering as well as cell- and tissue culture technologies. The concept encompasses a wide range of procedures (and history) for modifying living organisms according to human purposes - going back to domestication of animals, cultivation of plants, and "improvements" to these through breeding programs that employ artificial selection and hybridization. By comparison to biotechnology, bioengineering is generally thought of as a related field with its emphasis more on higher systems approaches (not necessarily altering or using biological materials directly) for interfacing with and utilizing living things. The United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity defines biotechnology as:
"Any technological application that uses biological systems, living organisms, or derivatives thereof, to make or modify products or processes for specific use."
In other term "Application of scientific and technical advances in life science to develop commercial products" is biotechnology.
Biotechnology draws on the pure biological sciences (genetics, microbiology, animal cell culture, molecular biology, biochemistry, embryology, cell biology) and in many instances is also dependent on knowledge and methods from outside the sphere of biology (chemical engineering, bioprocess engineering, information technology, biorobotics). Conversely, modern biological sciences (including even concepts such as molecular ecology) are intimately entwined and dependent on the methods developed through biotechnology and what is commonly thought of as the life sciences industry.







Download Tips

No doubt, information is the highway to greatness in life. In a bide to obtain such information one is forced to get it whenever it appears online. One is please and satisfy with the rate of such information transfer if it is very fast. But the reverse is case when the data transfer ( i.e. bits or bytes per second ) is very slow. One is bound to waste time to be used for other demanding issues on a slow data transfer. But you can get out of this mess and speed up the rate of data transfer of your computer by applying the tips in this article.

Change or upgrade your connection. Your internet service provider render service according to your subscription. There is a limit speed associated with each connection. So, go for subscription that meet up with your need. If you are using dial-up connection, make use of Broadband connection for faster speed output. The broadband has Direct Service Line ( DSL) or a cable connection to be chosen for maximum performance.
