Biotechnology Expanding Horizons By B D Singh (2023)

The book ‘Biotechnology, Expanding Horizons’ is designed as the primary reading resource for graduate/postgraduate students of Biotechnology, Botany, Zoology, Life Sciences, and Agriculture that have a paper in biotechnology. The book comprises 22 chapters covering the broad spectrum of the discipline, viz., recombinant DNA technology (2 chapters), gene editing, genome maps and genomics, bioinformatics, animal biotechnology (3 chapters), plant biotechnology (5 chapters), health care, industrial biotechnology, enzyme technology, food and fuel biotechnology, environmental biotechnology, biosafety and intellectual property rights. In the end, a glossary of relevant terms and several appendices with useful information have been provided. The book has been written in simple language in a style I followed for teaching to my students. The concepts have been explained with the help of suitable diagrams and every effort has been made to maintain readability and facilitate easy comprehension. It is expected to serve as the basic reading resource for the students of biotechnology and would be helpful in various competitive examinations.
