Abstract

Biotechnology, being a field involving the use of biological systems or living organisms to manufacture or develop processes useful to benefit humans, may be represented by different classes: animal, agricultural, medical, industrial, and environmental. In addition to these major classes, other fields are directly or indirectly associated with biotechnology, such as nanobiotechnology, bioinformatics, pharmacogenomics, regenerative medicine, and therapeutic proteins. However, modern biotechnology deals more with the treatment of ailments and alteration of organisms, including prevention, diagnosis and cure of diseases, all necessary to bettering the quality of human life. Through human genetics, biotechnology has found applications in genetic counselling, antenatal diagnosis, and gene therapy, while in forensic medicine it is extensively used for identification of individuals who could be criminal.
