1. Some Things You Need to Know about Biotechnology
Definition
How to define biotechnology? It means that utilizing scientific technology and biological
technology to change genetic things. US National Science and Technology Commission has
offered a definition that biotechnology contains a series of technology which can be used in
utilizing genetic organism or cells to produce stuff we want.Genetic recombinantion ,cell
conjugation and some other modern bio-engineering techniques are involved in biotechnology.
Biotechnology aims to pick some genes with good features of living things to be transplanted in
another specie to make the transplanted living things contain the good features of gene when gene
change the later specie.
History
Biotechnology sounds like a modern technology. Actually, human beings have used this
technology for a long time. For example, people cultivate and raise livestock to make a steady
food supplement 10,000 years ago; they use fungus to heal woulds 2,000 years ago and they start
using smallpox vaccine in 18th
century. But biotechnology drew much attention in recent years for
scientists have a deeply understanding of cells and genes in 50s in last century and Genetic
recombinantion and cell conjugation come into being in 70s in last century. These two
technologies are significant to produce the wanted substance through gene and cells and it also
promote the development of industry and agricultural production.
Complication
Genetic recombinantion and cell conjugation are the cornerstone of modern biotechnology. In
recent years, many new technologies and application area have developed on the basis. For
example, protein engineering techniques can promote change the structure and activity of protein;
biological nanotechnology can produce biosensors; biochips,drug delivery system and tissue
engineering can be used to recover the damaged organ by stem cell. Biotechnology aims to heal
disease, improve living quality and provide more food. But there are some experiment beyond the
experiment areas and go against science ethic, so it also need supervision.
Biotech company
For the rapid development of biotechnology, many biotech company appear. They also have their
different key products and service. For example, Sigmaaldrich is famous for diagnostics;
Pierce-antibodies’ key product is antibody and Creative Diagnostic receive good reputation for
polyclonal antibodies and immunoprecipitation.
