Molecular Biotechnology in Our Life If you have had a can of soft drink, ate a fruit, or took some head ache medicine this morning - then it's very likely you have used a genetically enhanced product. Genetics is a part of biotechnology that manipulates biological organisms to make products...

Extremophiles The term extremophiles is applied to groups of microorganisms that live and thrive in places where most living creatures could not survive. Extremophiles can be grouped into two categories; Bacteria, simple celled creatures whose cells lack a nucleus, and eukarya, whose cell...

After reading about cancer this is an unfair disease... Each cancer is unique most cancers are named after the part of the body where the cancer first starts.

DNA has freed many wrongly convicted criminals, locked up murders and rapist and criminals of lesser crimes. Crime Investigators owe it to DNA to making their job so much simpler and accurate, they can place a certain person and a scene in a instant. DNA was the help all court rooms were...

Genetic Catastrophe "While the 20th century was shaped largely by spectacular breakthroughs in the field of physics and chemistry, the 21st century will belong to the biological sciences. Scientists around the world are quickly deciphering the genetic code of life, unlocking the mystery of b...

I grew up in a time and place where faith existed but was never questioned. After all, when you're a kid, adults tell you that Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fairy and God are all real. And that believing in them would get you gifts, baskets of candy, money, and someone who could help you...

Scientific researchers use animal experimentation for biomedical and veterinary research to enhance human health and possibly the welfare of other animals. They claim that successful medical treatments including antibiotics, vaccines and other drugs have been developed with the aid of animal experim...
