GLOSSARY of BIOTECHNOLOGY and AGROBIOTECHNOLOGY TERMS

"The 5th edition of Glossary of Biotechnology and Agrobiotechnology Terms will be a significant expansion of the previous 4th edition. In the past decade, many new terms have been introduced due to the appearance and application of new methods as well as technical advances in genetics, molecular biology, cell biology and agricultural research. The terms associated with important new technologies have been added to this new edition including terms related to Zinc Finger Proteins, Transcription Activator-Like Effectors (TALEs), TALE Nucleases, Genome Editing, CRISPR/Cas 9 Gene-editing Systems, Oligonucleortide-mediated Mutagenesis, and RNA Interference, as well as hundred of others. The 5th edition, like previous editions, will be useful for biotech scientists, regulators of agricultural biotechnology around the world, customers, and agbiotech company executives, as well as biopharmaceutical industries and academics. Features: Includes the addition of numerous nanotechnology terms related to biotechnology; Provides definitions that rely on easily understood analogies and simplified terminology with concise definitions that teach as well as define; Offers suggestions for further inquiry by providing numerous cross references to other terms after each definition; Allows one to follow a reference chain that enhances clarity; Familiarizes readers with the gargon, concepts, and key concerns of the biotechnology industry"--Page 4 of cover.
