Principles of biotechnology: Genetic engineering

Biosynthesis refers to the process which is catalysed and where complex structures are changed over into simpler products in living beings. The process is completed in multiple steps. In biosynthesis, complex components are adjusted, changed over into simpler products, or joined to shape macromolecules. The process regularly comprises metabolic pathways. These biosynthetic pathways are included […]

Biosafety level meaning A biosafety level (BSL), or microorganisms assurance level, is a set of biocontainment safety measures expected to confine hazardous organic specialists in an encased lab office. BSLs are a progression of assurances consigned to autoclave-related exercises that happen specifically in natural and open seated labs. They are individual shields intended to safeguard

The scientific research about various exotic and highly infectious pathogens has increased exponentially in recent years. These pathogens are contemplated to be bio-weapons in the making. These pathogens are classified based on risk and priority by the Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) as bioterrorism. The biosafety regulations and strategies have to be followed

“Biosafety” is the use of certain practices, safety equipment, and specially designed buildings to confirm that the workers, the community, and the environment are protected from unintentional release or accidental exposure of toxins, infectious agents, and other biological hazards.    Biosafety levels (BSL) are used to govern the protective measures needed in a lab setting

Introduction  The biosafety issues are majorly concerned with the policies, procedures, and principles adopted to protect the human population and the environment. The major aim of the biosafety issues is to keep an eye on harmful agents, chemicals, toxins, and radiations. With the advancements in genetic engineering, biosafety measures have gained immense importance for ensuring

Bioluminescence is a fascinating natural phenomena in which an organism creates and emits light as a result of a chemical process in which chemical energy is turned into light energy by the organism. The shimmering effect generated by fireflies on a summer night is the consequence of a chemical reaction occurring in their blazing abdomens.

Biology is a complex branch of science and technology. It is based on a set of principles such as evolution, unity, homeostasis, diversity, and continuity. Biology is directly or indirectly interlinked with the other branches of science like chemistry, physics, and technology. The increased understanding of the field of biology has led human beings to

Metabolism is a major source of cell information that combines information from the outside world with information from inside the cell to help cells make decisions about how to use nutrients, communicate, or change into new cells. This dual role has brought back a focus on metabolism in fields ranging from microbiology to cancer research.

Bioinformatics is a rapidly developing branch of science that encompasses a wide range of topics and is both dynamic and growing. Biology, chemistry, mathematics, statistics, and computer science are some of the areas covered in this programme. Medical informatics, research informatics, and biotechnology are all areas where bioinformatics is concerned with the development of new

Economic inflation and climate change have all become important challenges to a healthy and quiet living since the beginning of the twenty-first century.  However, few people are aware of a far larger problem known as “hidden hunger” that exists in the background.  Micronutrients, proteins, vitamins, and other critical elements are deficient in the diets of
