We finished chapter 13, with an overview of one of the most commonly used automated DNA sequencing methods, the dye-terminator sequencing method, a modification of the Sanger method (a.k.a. chain termination - click here for an EXCELLENT video produced by the Dolan DNA learning Center).
Then we started the chapter on biotechnology, in which we provided a definition of the field, discussed its origins with the discovery of restriction enzymes in the 1970s, and did an overview of some of the most common fields within biotechnology: biopharming and genetically modified organisms (GMOs).
