Description
Unlike most Biotechnology textbooks, Dr. David P. Clark's "Biotechnology" approaches modern Biotechnology from a Molecular Basis, which
grew out of the increasing biochemical understanding of physiology. Using straight forward, less-technical jargon, Clark manages to
introduce each chapter with a basic concept, that ultimately evolves into a more specific detailed principle. This up-to-date text covers
a wide realm of topics including forensics and bioethics using colorful illustrations and concise applications.
This book will help
readers understand what molecular biotechnology actually is as a scientific discipline, how the research in this area is conducted, and
how this technology may impact the future.
