The Recombinant University

Download or read book The Recombinant University written by Doogab Yi and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2015-03-23 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This title examines the history of biotechnology when it was new, especially when synonymous with recombinant DNA technology. It focuses on the academic community in the San Francisco Bay Area where recombinant DNA technology was developed and adopted as the first major commercial technology for genetic engineering at Stanford in the 1970s. The book argues that biotechnology was initially a hybrid creation of academic and commercial institutions held together by the assumption of a positive relationship between private ownership and the public interest.

Download or read book Recombinant DNA: Genes and Genomes written by James D. Watson and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2007 with total page 500 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recombinant DNA, Third Edition, is an essential text for undergraduate, graduate, and professional courses in Genomics, Cell and Molecular Biology, Recombinant DNA, Genetic Engineering, Human Genetics, Biotechnology, and Bioinformatics. The Third Edition of this landmark text offers an authoritative, accessible, and engaging introduction to modern, genome-centered biology from its foremost practitioners. The new edition explores core concepts in molecular biology in a contemporary inquiry-based context, building its coverage around the most relevant and exciting examples of current research and landmark experiments that redefined our understanding of DNA. As a result, students learn how working scientists make real high-impact discoveries. The first chapters provide an introduction to the fundamental concepts of genetics and genomics, an inside look at the Human Genome Project, bioinformatic and experimental techniques for large-scale genomic studies, and a survey of epigenetics and RNA interference. The final chapters cover the quest to identify disease-causing genes, the genetic basis of cancer, and DNA fingerprinting and forensics. In these chapters the authors provide examples of practical applications in human medicine, and discuss the future of human genetics and genomics projects.

Download or read book Recombinant DNA Technology written by Siddra Ijaz and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2019-08-13 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Genetic engineering is a rapidly growing field in the area of biological sciences. The driving forces behind this are the challenges encountered by health sectors, agriculture, the environment, and industry. As such, accurate and comprehensive knowledge about the philosophy, principles and application of genetic engineering is indispensable for students and researchers to harness maximum opportunities from this field of science. This volume gathers together comprehensive information regarding genetic engineering from recent studies, and presents it in a coherent manner. As such, it will be of interest to undergraduate and postgraduate students and researchers working in the biological sciences.

Download or read book Sources of Medical Technology written by Committee on Technological Innovation in Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1995-01-15 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Evidence suggests that medical innovation is becoming increasingly dependent on interdisciplinary research and on the crossing of institutional boundaries. This volume focuses on the conditions governing the supply of new medical technologies and suggest that the boundaries between disciplines, institutions, and the private and public sectors have been redrawn and reshaped. Individual essays explore the nature, organization, and management of interdisciplinary R&D in medicine; the introduction into clinical practice of the laser, endoscopic innovations, cochlear implantation, cardiovascular imaging technologies, and synthetic insulin; the division of innovating labor in biotechnology; the government- industry-university interface; perspectives on industrial R&D management; and the growing intertwining of the public and proprietary in medical technology.
