Biotechnology is one of the
fastest emerging fields that has attracted attention of conventional
biologists, biochemists, microbiologists, medical and agricultural
scientists. The coming decades are likely to witness a boom in
biotechnology, which is expected to surpass information technology as
the new engine of the global economy. Biotechnology is experiencing a
revolution that will affect every facet of our lives, from crop
improvement to commerce, drugs and sustainable development. New
approaches and a plethora of information available at a frantic pace
demands its dissemination to the scientific community. The current
book has been written with the specific objective of providing
information on the recent developments in biotechnology to the readers.
The
proposed book presents a multidisciplinary approach to the latest
information and developments in biotechnology in an easy-to-read,
succinct format. The book has been divided into 6 sections and 15
chapters giving an in-depth analysis of the latest research and
developments in the biotechnological realm. The topics have been
presented in a lucid, easy-to-read methodical way with illustrations
and suitable case studies to provide additional help and clarity. The
authors have tried to present state-of-the-art and integrative
information in a manner that familiarizes the reader with the important
concepts and tools of recent biotechnological studies. Apart from
biotechnological personnel, the book would also be useful for readers
of diverse disciplines such as bioinformatics, agriculture,
environmental science, pharmaceutical sciences, biochemistry and
general biology.
Features
- A systematic overview of the recent state-of-the-art technologies.
- Novel contents with maximum coherence.
- Extensive use of examples and case studies to illustrate how each technique has been used in practice.
- Incorporation of the latest information on these topics from recent research papers.
This
book serves as a reference book and presents information in an
accessible way for students, researchers and scientific investigators
in biotechnology. It may also be used as a textbook for
postgraduate-level courses in biological sciences.
