Technology in Biology


 Let’s break down the key elements:

Enabling Technologies:
Investigating essential technologies that drive bioprocessing:
Fermentation:
The process of using microorganisms to produce valuable compounds.
Downstream Processing:
Techniques for purifying and separating biomolecules.
Recombinant Methods:
Manipulating DNA to create novel genetic combinations.
Antibody Monoclonals
Monoclonal antibodies used in diagnostics and therapeutics.
Analysis and Automation: 
Tools for efficient bioprocess monitoring.
Genomics, Proteomics, Metabolomics: 
Studying genes, proteins, and metabolites.

Biotechnology Broader societal issues 

    • Specific aspects of the biotechnology industry in these regions.
    • Broader societal issues related to biotechnology.

Factors Influencing Biotechnology Development:
Considerations in the genesis of typical biotechnology processes, products, and enterprises:
Development Costs: Balancing investment and returns.
Venture Capital: Funding sources for biotech startups.
Patenting: Protecting intellectual property.
Product Safety: Ensuring safe and effective products.
Legislation and Marketing: Navigating legal and marketing aspects.
Interdisciplinary Nature and Local/Regional Development:
Case studies illustrating how biotechnology intersects with other fields.
Factors favoring the growth of a local or regional biotechnology industry.

 Genomics_command_line_quiz1 For all projects, you may use your own Unix-based system and, where applicable, ensure that you are running the version of the software specified in the assignments. Alternatively, you may use the VMBox virtual machine environment provided with the course materials. Instructions on how to download and use the environment can be found on the course web site. For the following questions, refer to the class workflow and use the data in the Online materials (‘gencommand_proj1_data.tar.gz’) to answer the questions. Assume you sequenced and assembled the genome of Malus domestica (apple), and performed gene annotation. You then collected samples and ran RNA-seq experiments to determine sets of genes that are expressed in the various tissues. This information was stored, respectively, in the following files: “apple.genome”, “apple.genes”, “apple.condition{A,B,C}”. NOTE: The apple genome and the apple gene annotations for this project were extracted from the Rosace

Introduction to Molecular Biology

 Introduction to Molecular Biology Cells are fundamental building blocks of living organisms. Cells contain a nucleus, mitochondria and chloroplasts, endoplasmic reticulum, ribosomes, vacuoles, etc.  The nucleus is important organelle because it houses chromosomes which include the DNA.  The DNA is in essence a blueprint of the organism as it encodes information needed to synthesize proteins . Molecular biologist s would like to understand how human biology works with the hope to treat diseases like cancer. One can look at simpler organisms such as yeasts to understand how human biology works.  Admittedly, unicellular yeasts are very different from humans who have approximately 1014 cells. However, the DNA is similar across all living organisms. For example, humans share 99% of DNA with chimps. Naturally, we would like to know what information contained in that 1% of DNA is so critical to determine all the distinguishing features of humans,  DNA            DNA stands for deoxyribonucle
