    Pest infestation is responsible for mare than half of all the crop production lost(Springer 2011). An example of the positive impact of biotechnology is pest-resistant crops. Developed countries have a solution to this with a soil bacterium called Bacillus thuringiensis(BT). Developing countries, like India, who have already touched hands with this, have noticed a strong progression towards…

    Genetic engineering, also called genetic modification, is the process of directly alternating an organism’s DNA in its genome using biotechnology. Genetic modification has been in practice for many years in the domestication of plants and animals, but despite its unprecedented progress, gene editing in humans, especially in embryonic stem cells, is one of the major controversies in health and science field nowadays. In the article from The Guardian, “Genetically modified human embryos should be…

    Even though gene therapy has existed for a while, its acceptance has been slower than most people had anticipated. This is regardless of the fact that this therapy is helpful in curing terminal diseases like cancer. These six sources provide me with different perspectives that will allow me to support the thesis of my paper and has given me an insight on the issue of gene therapy. It is clear that gene therapy has not received the attention it deserves mostly because of ethical and economic…

    Most of us never think about the food we eat. How is it made? Where does it come from? What exactly is in it? Is it safe to eat? Sometimes the best answer to those questions is no answer at all. Some of us may not even care, some will. It’s all about the perspective of the person. No answer is wrong. In the book The Botany of Desire, Michael Pollan writes about a potato called the NewLeaf. The NewLeaf potato isn’t like any other kind of ordinary potato. It’s a genetically engineered potato that…

    “Sometimes things are hard, and some things are right. And some things are both. This is one of those things.” –Tim Cook Now when Tim Cook said this he was in no way referring to genome editing, but his words can be applied to many difficult situations. Imagine a world where doctors are gods creating and designing the next generation of human beings. Before a baby is even born they are able to go in and pick and choose what the baby will look like, what abilities they have. They can remove…

    cells include the stirred-tank reactor (STR), airlift reactor (ALR), and wave/rocking-motion reactors, in which STR is the most widely used (Contreras‐Gómez et al., 2014). There are over 20 different kinds of disposable bioreactor in production of biotechnology products in which considerably large STRs up to 2000 L are also commonly used (Eibl et al., 2010). Insect cell cultures have been reported at scales of at least 600 L in STRs and 500 L in rocking-motion plastic bag-based single-use…

    In this context, the development of recombinant DNA technology in the 1970s marked the beginning of a new era in biology (Jackson et al. 1972). This beginning promoted a new born in genetic engineering boosting the modern biotechnology and other science fields. Thanks to this discover, scientists could manipulate genetic material and make individual studies at the level of structure, organization and function but also about regulation and gene expression. So today, with all this…
