بیوتکنولوژی: به‌کارگیری انقلاب ژنتیکی

Unlike most Biotechnology textbooks, Dr. David P. Clark's ''Biotechnology'' approaches modern Biotechnology from a Molecular Basis, which grew out of the increasing biochemical understanding of physiology. Using straight forward, less-technical jargon, Clark manages to introduce each chapter with a basic concept, that ultimately evolves into a more specific detailed principle. This up-to-date text covers a wide realm of topics including forensics and bioethics using colorful illustrations and concise applications. This book will help readers understand what molecular biotechnology actually is as a scientific discipline, how the research in this area is conducted, and how this technology may impact the future. · Up-to-date text focuses on modern biotechnology with a molecular foundation · Basic concepts followed by more detailed, specific applications · Clear, color illustrations of key topics and concepts · Clearly written without overly technical jargon or complicated examples "Unlike most textbooks on this subject, Biotechnology approaches modern biotechnology from a molecular basis. Using straightforward, less technical jargon, Clark and Pazdernik introduce students to the topics and walk them through the process as it evolves into a more specific detailed principle." "This up-to-date text covers a wide realm of topics that are encountered in current media and movies. One of the chapters covers the burgeoning field of nanobiotechnology, stimulating the student to think about biotechnology from a new and much smaller point of view. Another chapter explains the real biotechnology behind crime scene investigations portrayed so dramatically on the hit show CSI. In addition, students will learn about the biotechnology behind making vaccines, genetically-modified plants, stem-cell research, gene therapy, and aging, among many other topics that are part of mainstream media coverage. Students will also learn the molecular basis for many viral diseases, cancer, and bacterial diseases that are bound to affect them or other family members. Finally, the text includes a very thought-provoking chapter on the bioethics of these new advances and applications of today's world of biotechnology, which stimulates the student to think rather than memorize."--BOOK JACKET Unlike most biotechnology textbooks, Dr. David P.
