Summary
This presentation compares and contrasts traditional and modern approaches to biotechnology. Traditional biotechnology leverages naturally occurring organisms for producing and modifying goods. Conversely, modern biotechnology employs genetic engineering techniques to modify living organisms or tissues in controlled environments. This document delves into the core principles of each approach for a clear understanding.

Traditional vs. Modern Biotechnology What is Traditional Biotechnology? TRADITIONAL - refers to the traditional BIOTECHNOLOGY techniques of using living organisms to yield new products or modify foods or other useful products for human use TRY THIS VIRTUAL LAB ABOUT PICKLING https://www.exploratorium.edu/ cooking/pickles/index.html MODERN - Modern biotechnology involves the use of BIOTECHNOLOGY GE techniques, such as recombinant DNA, functional and structural genomics, DNA diagnostic probes, and other methods for genetic modification. The development of recombinant DNA technology has marked the beginning of so-called modern biotechnology. Discussion on the different branches or fields of Modern Biotechnology will follow as we go through this course! Summary of Traditional Biotech vs. Modern Biotech In a nutshell, biotechnology encompasses both traditional biotechnology and modern biotechnology. But without the traditional biotech, there won’t be modern biotech. Traditional biotech involves use of natural organisms to create or modify food or other useful products for human use, Summary of Traditional Biotech vs. Modern Biotech while modern biotech involves manipulation of genes and living tissues in a controlled environment to generate new tissue. Modern biotechnology is applied in medicine and healthcare in therapeutics, mainly for the discovery, development and production of novel drugs, and in preventives for the development recombinant vaccines.
