BIO374H5 Chapter Notes - Chapter 1: Tissue Engineering, Immunotherapy, Job Satisfaction
Document Summary
Biotechnology science of using living organisms/products of living organisms for human benefit of to benefit human surrounding. Domestication of animals (e. g. , sheep+cattles) for use as livestock. Fermentation microorganisms (e. g. , baker"s years) used for food purposes; organisms w/ desirable features. Selective breeding improve production of crops+livestock. Antibiotics substances produced by microorganisms that inhibit growth of other microorganisms (e. g. , penicillin); batch (large scale) processes. Genetic cloning + genetic engineering manipulate dna ( recombinant dna technology ) Gene therapy genes introduced into human cells to treat + Genetic + tissue engineering grow organs for cure genetic disorder transplantation to prevent rejection. Organism cloning in mammals (e. g. , human cloning) Genome editing (e. g. , to create embryos w/ desired genetic: types of biotechnology characteristics) Microbial biotechnology manipulating microorganisms create better enzymes + organisms for making many foods, simplify manufacturing. Create vaccines; to clone + produce batch of recombinant proteins. Synthetic genomes man-made dna sequences used to engineer microbes w/ desirable characteristics.
