Abstract

Biotechnology is a field of applied biology that involves the use of living organisms and bioprocess in engineering, technology, medicine, public health and other fields requiring bioproducts. Biotechnology also utilizes these products for manufacturing purposes. Modern use of similar terms includes genetic engineering as well as cell and tissue culture technologies. The concept encompasses a wide range of procedures for modifying living organisms according to human purpose-going back to domestication of animals and cultivation of plants through the use of transgenic plants and animals to enhance the desired products. This includes gene testing, gene therapy, pharmacogenomics, discovery of DNA repair in cancer cells, genetically modified food, production of novel substances in crops plants, introduction of genetically engineered products into animals to improve their economic values and revelation of DNA sequencing in soft shell turtle, Pelodiscus. The significance of genetic engineering will not be fully ascertained without the knowledge on the importance of genetics on environmental factors, forensic science and genetic microbial biodegradation in the clean-up of oil contaminated environment.
