Introduction to Biotechnology
Defining Biotechnology. Biotechnology is the use of biological organisms and processes to produce commercially valuable products. Many of the earliest biotech products made use of bacteria to produce recombinant proteins. That is, the bacteria produced human proteins that could be used as therapeutics in humans. This feat is possible because both humans and bacteria shared … Continue reading Introduction to Biotechnology
Transgenic Animals…Other Than Mice
For Biotechnology Course Drosophila embryos are injected at the syncytium stage. What is syncytium? What is the advantage to transgene injection at this stage in development? Why are two P elements often used to create transgenic flies? Why use a partially-deleted inverted repeat? Can you envision how alcohol dehydrogenase could be used as a selectable … Continue reading Transgenic Animals…Other Than Mice
