This book approaches modern biotechnology from a molecular basis that grew out of the increasing
biochemical understanding of physiology. Using straight forward, less-technical jargon,
each chapter is introduced with a basic concept, that ultimately evolves into a more specific detailed principle.
This up-to-date text covers a wide realm of topics including forensics and bioethics using colorful illustrations
and concise applications. This book will help readers understand what molecular biotechnology actually
is as a scientific discipline, how the research in this area is conducted, and how this technology may impact the future.
It is suitable for upper division undergraduates in: Microbiology, Physiology, Biology, Pharmacology,
Biotechnology, Zoology, Plant Biology, Biochemistry and Agriculture
