Bioinformatics is the application of computer science, mathematics, and statistics to solve biological problems.\n\nA standard example is in virus drug resistance.  Sequence the DNA of someone's virus, then compare it (using statistical analysis) to other sequences that you know to be resistant to certain drugs.  If you find a match, then the patient is probably resistant to the same drug.\n\nAnother common application is data mining.  You take a huge database with thousands of pieces of information, and you search for threads of correlation.  This allows you to come up with relationships that are not apparent because of the sheer size of the data.

Biotechnology, as the name implies is technology based on biology (where biology is the science of studying life). Examples include the production of alcohol by fermentation, The production of penicillin from cell cultures, the production of lysine (a protein), and many more where useful chemicals produced by biological entities are extracted as useful products. Other examples include the manufacture of cheese, yougert, wine - all involving living organisms. If you want to know more have a look at wikipedia - there is a lot of information there....

Good question.  \n\nFirst biotechnology is essentially the use of bacteria or yeast or products of these living organism like enzymes for the use or production of drugs.  It has many other applications like alternating certain bacteria to be able to eat and degrade oil spills, for instance.  Over the past 2-3 decades we have made tremedulous strides in understanding the mechanisms of cells.  In the process, we have developed new technology to be able to manipulate cellular function.  For instance, mass producing strands of DNA, being able to insert these code sequences into bacterium dna,  forcing the bacterium to make these codes into proteins which benefit the whole of society.\n\nWhat is the difference between the pharmaceuticals and biotech.  In general pharmaceutical companies make medications by chemical reaction.\n\nBiology is a must.  It provides the foundation for later studies.  Yes high school biology can be a drag. ( i always hated learning about different plant reproduction or different dinosaur era or evolution.)  But stick with it cause.  The courses become more advanced when you go to college.

Can you explain your Q more?\nbut I can say genetic regultaion is very important in biotech\nfrom the simplest task like protein expression \n( we need to control the expression by gene regulation such as using lac operon so that the protein which may be toxic or unnatural to the host can be expressed in desirable time)\nto very advance task gene regulation is heavily involved

Biotechnology is being used to address problems in all areas of agricultural production and processing. This includes plant breeding to raise and stabilize yields; to improve resistance to pests, diseases and abiotic stresses such as drought and cold; and to enhance the nutritional content of foods. Biotechnology is being used to develop low-cost disease-free planting materials for crops such as cassava, banana and potato and is creating new tools for the diagnosis and treatment of plant and animal diseases and for the measurement and conservation of genetic resources. Biotechnology is being used to speed up breeding programmes for plants, livestock and fish and to extend the range of traits that can be addressed. Animal feeds and feeding practices are being changed by biotechnology to improve animal nutrition and to reduce environmental waste. Biotechnology is used in disease diagnostics and for the production of vaccines against animal diseases.\n\nClearly, biotechnology is more than genetic engineering. Indeed, some of the least controversial aspects of agricultural biotechnology are potentially the most powerful and the most beneficial for the poor. Genomics, for example, is revolutionizing our understanding of the ways genes, cells, organisms and ecosystems function and is opening new horizons for marker-assisted breeding and genetic resource management. At the same time, genetic engineering is a very powerful tool whose role should be carefully evaluated. It is important to understand how biotechnology - particularly genetic engineering - complements and extends other approaches if sensible decisions are to be made about its use.\n\nThis chapter provides a brief description of current and emerging uses of biotechnology in crops, livestock, fisheries and forestry with a view to understanding the technologies themselves and the ways they complement and extend other approaches. It should be emphasized that the tools of biotechnology are just that: tools, not ends in themselves. As with any tool, they must be assessed within the context in which they are being used.

DNA Technology\nRecombinant DNA technology refers to the techniques used to transplant genes from one living source into another where it will be expressed.\n \nHow Does it work?:\nThe science of DNA technology includes the use of special enzymes called restriction enzymes, DNA vectors, and the host organisms. We will take a look at each of these groups in the following section.\n \nRestriction Enzymes:\nThese special enzymes were discovered in the late 1960's as naturally occurring agents in bacteria. They protect the bacterium against foreign DNA from other organisms. Invading DNA is cut into pieces and made inoperable. This process is called restriction. As with any enzyme, these are specific in the job they do. Many of them only recognize short, specific nucleotide sequences( recognition sequences) and cut at specific points within those sequences. Bacteria protect their own DNA by a process called methylation. During this process methyl groups are added to the nucleotides within the recognition sequence. There are several hundred restriction enzymes and about 100 different recognition sequences.\nRecognition Sequences: are symmetric in that the same sequence of 4 to 8 nucleotides is found on both strands, but run in opposite directions. The restriction enzymes usually cut the phosphodiester bonds of both strands in a staggered manner. The result being both ends have a single stranded area called the sticky ends. It is within this space that the new piece of DNA is added, attaching to the sticky ends. \n \nThese unions are temporary until the enzyme DNA ligase is added to catalyze the formation of the phosphodiester bonds.\nVectors: are used as carriers for moving DNA from test tubes into cells. Bacterial plasmids and viruses are the most widely used vectors in DNA transfer. Bacterial cells can pick up the DNA through the process of transformation. Lambda phages are used by eliminating the middle of its liner genome and adding the foreign DNA in the created space. The phage is then introduced into the bacterial cell where it replicated itself via the lysogenic cycle.\nHost Organisms: Bacteria are usually used as hosts in genetic engineering. There are several reasons why they are chosen. 1. Bacterial DNA can be easily isolated and reintroduced into bacterial cells. 2. Bacterial cultures grow quickly. Some disadvantages surface as well: 1. Bacteria, being prokaryotic, may not be able to use the information in eukaryotic genes. 2. Bacterial cells cannot make the the necessary changes in transcription to produce some eukaryotic proteins. Eukaryotic cells can also be used as hosts. Yeast cells and some plant and animal cells can be a host for foreign DNA, but it is often difficult to get such cells to take up engineered DNA.\nSteps for using Bacteria and Plasmids to Clone Genes:\n1. Isolation of two kinds of DNA.\n2. Treatment of plasmid and foreign DNA with the same restriction enzyme.\n3. Mixture of foreign DNA with clipped plasmids.\n4. Addition of DNA ligase.\n5. Introduction of recombinant plasmid into bacterial cells.\n6. Production of multiple gene copies by gene cloning and selection process for transformed cells.\n7. Final screening for transformed cells.\n \n\n \nAdditional Methods for Analyzing and Cloning Nucleotide Sequences:\n1. Gel Electrophoresis. is used to separate either nucleic acids or proteins based upon molecular size, charge and other physical properties. Various DNA's can be identified by their characteristic banding patterns after being cut with their particular retraction enzymes. Genes can be isolated, purified and recovered from the gel with full biological activity.\n2. DNA Synthesis. It is possible to create known short DNA sequences in the laboratory. The Sanger Method is used to identify the sequence of a DNA molecule. This method is based on: a). use of restriction enzymes into small reproducible fragments. b). produce in a test tube DNA strands complimentary to a strand from the restr
