商品描述

Appropriate for all courses in biotechnology, and many courses in science and ethics.

With each passing year, biotechnology has an increasingly profound impact on human health, agriculture, the environment, and society itself. Understanding Biotechnology offers students an introduction to biotechnology that is balanced, accurate, current, thorough, and accessible to non-specialists and professionals alike. The authors begin with a brief history of biotechnology and an introduction to the underlying principles of genetic engineering. Next, they review every key area of biotechnology research, thoroughly addressing both technical practice and its implications—especially biosafety and ethical issues. Understanding Biotechnology presents careful and complete introductions to cloning, gene therapy, pharmacogenomics, molecular markers, forensic DNA, bioremediation and biodiversity, and more—including a full chapter on the risks of bioterrorism. It also includes an extensive glossary, as well as detailed references for further study. The book assumes only a basic genetic and biological background. It will be an invaluable resource for students intending to become genetic engineers—as well as students intending to becoming lawyers, business leaders, journalists, or simply better informed citizens

商品描述(中文翻譯)

適用於所有生物技術課程,以及許多科學和倫理課程。

隨著每一年的過去,生物技術對人類健康、農業、環境和社會本身的影響越來越深遠。《了解生物技術》為學生提供了一個平衡、準確、時下、全面且對非專業人士和專業人士都易於理解的生物技術介紹。作者們首先簡要介紹了生物技術的歷史和基因工程的基本原理。接下來,他們詳細介紹了生物技術研究的每個關鍵領域,全面討論了技術實踐及其影響,特別是生物安全和倫理問題。《了解生物技術》詳細介紹了克隆、基因治療、藥物基因組學、分子標記、法醫DNA、生物修復和生物多樣性等領域,還包括一整章關於生物恐怖主義風險的內容。書中還包含了詳盡的詞彙表和進一步研究的參考資料。本書僅假設讀者具有基本的基因和生物學背景,對於打算成為基因工程師的學生以及打算成為律師、商業領袖、記者或僅僅是更加瞭解的公民的學生來說,這將是一個寶貴的資源。
