Basic Principles of Genetic Engineering
Genetic engineering involves manipulation of the genetic material towards a desired end in a direct and pre-determined way. This is alternatively called recombinant DNA technology or gene cloning.In short Gene cloning is essentially the insertion of a specific piece of 'desired DNA' into a host cell in such a way the inserted DNA is replicated and handed onto daughter cells during cell division.

Humanized Antibodies - Production and Applications in Cancer Therapy
Humanized antibodies are the name given to antibodies derived from non human species whose proteins have been modified to enhance their resemblance to natural human antibodies. When therapeutic antibodies are produced in non human immune system (for example mice) their protein sequence are to some extent different from that of natural human antibodies. It is important to humanize these antibodies

Techniques Used in Detection of Genetic Diseases - Part 2
Most of the techniques used in identifying a gene responsible for a genetic disorder can be applied only when there is pre-information about the genes or the gene products. However in many cases where there is no knowledge about the genes or the gene products a different approach has to be used. In such cases the most probable gene resulting in the disorder can be identified by using other methods

Benefits of Probiotics
What are probiotics and thier health benefits. Probiotics are generally fermented foods like yoghurt and dairy products fortified with active live cultures of beneficial microorganisms. Generally Lactic Acid Bacteria(LAB) and Bifidobacteria are popular probiotic cultures. However some yeasts and bacilli are also used.

Marker-Assisted Selection in Crop Breeding
Marker assisted selection of plants hepls to reducethe time taken for plant breeding experiments. Agricultural Biotechnology primarily focuses on developing better varieties of crop. This involves selection of plants with the desired characteristics. Earlier Conventional plant breeding was based on phenotypic selection of the plants
