Biotechnology has applications in therapeutics, diagnostics, agriculture, food processing, bioremediation, water treatment, and energy production. The three critical research areas of biotechnology are providing the best catalyst (usually a microbe or pure enzyme), creating optimal conditions for the catalyst through engineering, and downstream processing technologies to purify proteins or organic compounds. Genetically modified crops are resistant to pests and stresses, reduce losses, and increase nutrient values. However, genetic modification also raises ethical concerns that must be addressed.
1. Genetic engineering techniques are used to construct recombinant DNA by combining DNA from different organisms. This is used to generate transgenic or genetically modified organisms (GMOs).
2. To generate a GMO, a gene is extracted from one organism and inserted into the plasmid of a bacterium using restriction enzymes. The recombinant DNA is then introduced into bacteria to multiply the modified organism.
3. Genetic engineering has many applications, including producing insulin and other medicines in bacteria, as well as creating transgenic crops that are pest-resistant or have improved nutritional properties.

Genetically modified crops can help increase food supply by making crops more tolerant to stresses, reducing reliance on pesticides, and increasing nutrient levels. The Bt toxin gene from Bacillus thuringiensis bacteria has been inserted into plants, allowing them to produce their own pesticide. RNA interference technology uses double-stranded RNA to silence specific genes and has potential for crop protection. Early successes of gene therapy included treating adenosine deaminase deficiency by inserting a functional gene into lymphocytes. Recombinant DNA technology and PCR allow for early disease diagnosis. Transgenic animals are used to study disease and produce biological products.
This document discusses several applications of biotechnology including production of human insulin through recombinant DNA technology, vaccine production by removing virulence genes, gene therapy techniques, genetically modified crops containing Bt toxins, production of transgenic animals, molecular diagnosis methods like PCR and ELISA, production of therapeutic proteins in microorganisms or milk, bioremediation using engineered bacteria, biosafety and bioethical issues related to biotechnology.
Recombinant DNA technology involves combining DNA from different sources to create new combinations. It has many applications in health, agriculture, environment, and industry. In health, it is used to produce vaccines and therapeutic proteins like insulin. In agriculture, it is used to develop stress tolerant, high yielding, and disease resistant crops. In the environment, it can be used to remediate pollutants and produce biofuels from cyanobacteria. In industry, it has applications in food production like cheeses, beverages, and agriculture like golden rice which increases vitamin A levels.
Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) have been developed to make crops more tolerant to environmental stresses and pest resistant. Bt cotton produces crystals containing toxins that kill certain insect pests but are harmless to humans. RNA interference can be used to silence genes in plant pathogens like nematodes. Genetically engineered insulin was the first biotech medicine produced by combining separate chains of human insulin produced in E.coli. Gene therapy may provide cures by inserting normal genes to replace defective ones causing diseases.

It allows scientists to isolate specific genes and insert them into vectors like plasmids, which are then introduced into host cells. This allows large quantities of the gene and its product to be produced. Key applications include producing insulin, growth hormones, and monoclonal antibodies for medicine; modifying crops for increased yield, herbicide/pest resistance for agriculture; degrading pollutants and producing biofuels for the environment; and DNA fingerprinting for forensics. Diagnostics and gene therapy also benefit from recombinant techniques.
Introduction: Biotechnology is an emerging field of research as it has the potential to solve many biological problems which could not be solved till now with conventional techniques.
The use of biology to develop technologies and products for the welfare of human beings is known as Biotechnology. It has various applications in different fields such as Therapeutics, Diagnostics, Processed Food, Waste Management, Energy Production, Genetically Modified Crops etc.
Biotechnology means 'applications of scientific and engineering principles to biological processes to provide goods and services'. Full understanding of biological processes is possible with detailed analysis of gene structure and function i.e. the Genetic Engineering means the introduction of manipulated genetic material (DNA) into a cell in such a way as to replicate and be passed on to progeny cells'. The outcome is attractive and promising.
Genetically engineered animals are created through genetic manipulation techniques like DNA microinjection or cloning to introduce new traits. They are being engineered for agriculture and medicine, such as producing human proteins and antibodies in their milk or blood for treating diseases. While this technology aims to increase productivity and quality, it raises ethical concerns about interfering with animal integrity and welfare, as well as potential environmental impacts. Regulations require ensuring modified animals and their products are safe for animal and human consumption.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
ย
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

2. Biotechnology has a wide range application such
as biopharmaceuticals,therapeutics, diagnostics, genetically
modified crops for agriculture, processed food, bioremediation,
waste treatment and energy production.
Biotechnology has 3 critical research areas:
a. Providing the best catalyst in the form of
improved organism usually a microbe or
pure enzyme.
b. Creating optimal conditions through engineering
for a catalyst to act.
c. Downstream processing technologies to purify
the protein/organic compound.
APPLICATIONS IN AGRICULTURE
a. Agro-chemical based agriculture.
b. Organic agriculture.
c. Genetically engineered crop-based
agriculture.
Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO) or transgenic
organisms are the plants, bacteria, fungi & animals
whose genes are altered bymanipulation
Advantages of genetic modification in plants:
It makes crops more tolerant to abiotic stresses (cold,
drought, salt, heat etc).
Pest-resistant crops reduce the use of chemical pesticides.
It helps to reduce post-harvest losses.
It increases efficiency of mineral usage by plants (it
prevents early exhaustion of fertility of soil).
It enhances nutritional value of food. E.g. Vitamin
enriched rice.
To create tailor-made plants to supply alternativeresources
(starches, fuels, pharmaceuticals etc.) to industries
Pest ResistantPIants
- They act as bio-pesticide.
- It reduces the need for insecticides.
- E.g. Bt cotton, Bt corn, rice, tomato, potato, soyabean etc.

3. - Some strains of Bacillus thuringiensis have proteins
that kill insects like coleopterans lepidopterans
(tobaccobudworm, armyworm) & dipterans
(flies, mosquitoes).
- B. thuringiensis forms a toxic insecticidal protein
(Bt toxin) crystal during a particular phase of their
growth. It does not kill the Bacillus as it exists as
inactive protoxins
- When an insect ingests the toxin, it becomes active due to
the alkaline pH of the gut which solubilise the crystals. The
toxin binds to the surface of mid-gut epithelial cells and
creates pores. It causes cell swelling and lysis and death of
the insect.
- Bt toxin genes were isolated from B. thuringiensis and
incorporated into crop plants such as cotton.
- Most Bt toxins are insect-group specific. The toxin is
coded by a gene named cry. E.g. proteins encoded by the
genes cryIAc & cryIIAb control the cotton bollworms that
of cryIAb controls corn borer
Nematode resistance in tobacco plants:
- A incognitia infects the roots of
tobacco plants causing a reduction in yield.
- It can be prevented by interference (RNAi) strategy.
- RNAi is a method of cellular defense in all eukaryotic
organisms. It prevents translation of a specific mRNA
due to a complementary molecule.
- The source of this complementary RNA is from an
infection by viruses or mobile genetic elements
that replicate via an RNAintermediate.
- Using Agrobacterium vectors, nematode-specific genes
are introduced into host plant. It produces both
sense & anti-sense in host cells. These are
complementary. So they form double stranded
It initiates and silences the specific of
nematode. Thus the parasite cannot survive in a transgenic
host expressing specific interfering

4. APPLICATIONS INMEDICINE
- The recombinant technology helps for the mass
production of safe and more effective therapeutic drugs.
- The products from non-human sources induce unwanted
immunological responses. But recombinant therapeutics
does not have such problems.
- At present, about recombinant therapeutics have been
approved. Of these, are being marketed in India.
1. GeneticaIIy Engineered InsuIin
- Insulin is used to manage adult-onset diabetes.
- Insulin from the pancreas of animals
causes allergy or other types of reactions to the
foreign protein.
- Now, it is possible to produce human insulin
using bacteria.
- Insulin consists of two short polypeptide chains
that are linked by disulphide bridges.
- In mammals, insulin is synthesized as a pro๏ฟฝhormone
It needs become .processing to mature and
functional hormone.
- The contains an extra stretch called peptide.
This is removed during maturation into insulin.
- Eli Lilly prepared two
DNA sequences corresponding to chains of human
insulin and introduced them in plasmids of . coli to
produce insulin chains. Chains were combined by
creating disulfide bonds to form humaninsulin
2. Gene Therapy
- It is a method to correct a gene defect in a
child/embryo.
- Here, genes are inserted into a personโs cells
and tissues to treat a hereditary disease. It
compensates for the non๏ฟฝfunctional gene.

5. - First clinical gene therapy was given to a 4-year old
girl with adenosine deaminase The
disorder is caused due to the deletion of the gene for
adenosine deam inase
- This can be cured by bone marrow transplantation or by
enzyme replacement therapy
But these approaches are not completely curative.
- In gene therapy, lymphocytes from the patientโs blood are
grown in a culture. Then, a functional
is introduced into these lymphocytes.
Then, they are returned to the patient. This should be
periodically repeated as these cells are not immortal. If the
gene is introduced into cells at
early embryonic stages, it could be a permanent cure.
3. Molecular Diagnosis
- Early diagnosis of diseases using conventional methods
are notpossible
- are some
techniques for early diagnosis.
PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction):
- Presence of a pathogen is normally suspected only based
on symptoms. By this time, the concentration of pathogen
is already very high in the body.
- However, very low concentration of a bacteria or virus can
be detected by amplification of their nucleic acid by
โข To detect in suspected patients.
โข To detect gene mutations in suspected cancer patients.
โข To identify many other genetic disorders.
- A single stranded tagged with a radioactive
is hybridized to its complementary
in a clone of cells followed by detection using
autoradiography. The clone having mutated gene will not
appear on the photographic film, because the probe will not
have complementarity with the mutated gene.

PCR TEST
6. ELISA (Enzyme Linked ImmunoSorbent Assay):
- It is based on the principle of antigen-antibody interaction.
- Infection by pathogen can be detected by the presence of
antigens or by detecting the
antibodies synthesized against the pathogen.
TRANSGENIC ANIMALS
- These are the animals whose genome
has been altered by introduction of an extra
gene by manipulation.
- E.g. Transgenic rats, rabbits, pigs, sheep, cows
and fish.
- Over 95% of all existing transgenic animals
are mice
To study the regulation of genes and their action on
normal physiology development:
study of complex factors such as insulin-like growth
factor. Genes that alter the formation
of this factor are introduced and the biological effects are
studied. This gives information about the biological role of
the factor in the body.
To Study the contribution of genes in the development
of a disease and thereby new treatments: transgenic
models for many human diseases such as cancer, cystic
fibrosis, rheumatoid arthritis Alzheimerโs.
Some medicines contain expensive
biological products. Transgenic animals are used to
produce useful biological products by introducing genes
which codes for a particular product.

7. . human protein used to treat
emphysema, products for treatment of phenylketonuria
and cystic fibrosis etc.
In 1997, produced human
protein-enriched milk It contains the
human a and is nutritionally more balanced
product for human babies than natural cow-milk.
Transgenic mice are used to test
the safety of the polio vaccine. If it is reliable, they can
replace the use of monkeys to test the safety ofvaccines.
Transgenic
animals are made that carry genes which make them
more sensitive to toxic substances than non-transgenic
animals. They are exposed to the toxic substances and
the effects studied. It gives immediate results.
ETHICAL ISSUES:
Problem of unpredictable results: Genetic modification
may cause unpredictable results.
Indian Government has set up organizations like
to make
decisions about the validity of GM research and the
safety of GM-organisms for public services.
Problems of patent: Certain companies have got
patents for products and technologies that make use
of the genetic materials, plants etc. that have been
identified, developed and used by farmers and
indigenous people of a country.
Basmati rice, herbal medicines
Basmati rice has unique aroma flavour. India has 27
varieties of Basmati. In 1997, an American companygot
patent rights on Basmati rice through the US Patent
and Trademark Office. This allowed the company to
sell a

farmerโs varieties. Indian Basmati was
crossed with semi-dwarf varieties
and claimed as a novelty. Other people
selling could be restricted
by patent.
It is the use of bio-resources by multinational
companies and other organizations without proper
authorization from the countries and people
concerned. Most of the industrialized nations are poor
in biodiversity and traditional knowledge. The developing
and the underdeveloped world have rich biodiversity and
traditional knowledge related to bio-resources.
It has to develop laws to prevent unauthorized exploitation
of bio-resources and traditional knowledge.
