Product description

From the Back Cover

  • Forecasting the Future begins each chapter and highlights biotechnology-driven questions that have yet to be answered, are in the process of being researched, or are topics/research/policy that are under development and will have an impact on our future. This demonstrates to students that biotechnology is a dynamic field, encompassing a broad range of career options, and that there are still many problems and questions that they can get involved in solving and answering.

  • Making a Difference appears at the end of each chapter and provides short case studies that

    contain an example of the chapter’s content and how it can be applied in the real world. This feature inspires and engages students by discussing how real people, real companies, and real organizations are putting biotech to use to improve the quality of life.

  • New “You Decide” boxes include discussions on synthetic genomes, direct to consumer gene testing kits, and genetically-modified insects to pose new and current ethical questions for students to consider.

  • Coverage of Recent Research includes discussions about projects such as the 1,000 Genomes Project, the Human Microbiome Project, and the Cancer Atlas Genome Project to emphasize changes to the biotechnology world in the ten years since the completion of the Human Genome Project.
  • Extensive Content Updates have been made throughout including
    • New section on epigenomes and epigenetics (Chapter 2)
    • New section on Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) (Chapter 3)
    • New coverage of biofuels and “biopharming” (Chapter 6)
    • New discussion of cloning agricultural animals v. traditional crossbreeding (Chapter 7)
    • Added discussion of how biotechnology was used in the cleanup of the Deep Water Horizon oil spill; added discussion of how DNA fingerprinting was used to identify remains found in the devastating earthquakes in Haiti and Japan (Chapters 8 and 9)
    • New content on bioprospecting, including the discovery of Yondelis, and medical uses for aquatic organisms
    • New section on nanomedicine (Chapter 11)
  • Select chapters have been streamlined and reorganized.
