Molecular Biotechnology
Molecular biotechnology is a specialized field within biotechnology that utilizes molecular biology techniques to enhance and innovate products and processes across various domains, including medicine, agriculture, and environmental science. By manipulating the genetic material of organisms, such as DNA and RNA, researchers in molecular biotechnology create novel products or enhance existing ones.
This involves employing genetic engineering techniques to modify an organism's genetic composition, such as introducing new genes or modifying existing ones. Recent advancements in molecular biotechnology, including the revolutionary CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing tool, have revolutionized the field and expanded the horizons of research and product development.
