A Textbook Of Biotechnology For Class Xii

The book describes important topics such as protein structure and engineering, recombinant DNA technology, genomics and bio-informatics, microbial culture and applications, plant cell culture and applications, and animal cell culture and applications, which are the focal points of interest in modern biotechnology. The area of bioinformatics is a fast emerging discipline that is conceptualizing biology in terms of molecules, DNA/RNA and proteins, and applying informatics techniques to understand and organise the information associated with these molecules. The focus is on new challenges posed by bioinformatics and on identifying opportunities for developing solutions that can be employed in solving biological and biomedical problems.
