Today we started chapter 14 on biotechnology.
We discussed the most basic applications of biotechnology and how it has bben applied to replace older methodologies to produce proteins to treat human diseases (biopharming).
We also discussed the goals of genetically modifying crops, and some of the main concerns that people have about them. We also started discussing how recombinant DNA technology has been used to create transgenic animal model organisms, mainly mice, to study the development of human diseases and test possible treatments to cure them.
