Purple Biotechnology
- Connected with distribution, innovation, and licenses of biotechnology.
- Main applications include analysis, publication, patents, and intellectual property rights in biotechnology research.
Biotechnology Applications
- Biopharming and biofactories: using genetically engineered animals or plants as biofactories to produce drugs, vaccines, hormones, etc.
- Edible vaccines: inserting a pathogen protein gene into the DNA of an edible plant to produce antibodies against the pathogen protein.
Classical Biotechnology
- Any technological application that uses biological systems, living organisms, or derivatives thereof, to make or modify products.
Modern Biotechnology
- Alteration of DNA and RNA (Genetic engineering).
- Multiplication of the desired genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in large quantities for the manufacture of biotechnology products.
Timeline of Biotechnology
