An Introduction to Molecular Biotechnology Fundamentals, Methods and Applications

The introductory chapter in this book delineates molecular biotechnology as a revolutionary scientific discipline. Outlined are the procedures of genetic engineering which became known as recombinant DNA technology and enabled to isolate specific genes, and perpetuate them in host organisms. The book chapters deal with the methodologies: molecular biotechnology biological systems: prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms, DNA, RNA and protein synthesis, chemical synthesis, sequencing and amplification of DNA, and much more.
