What is modern biotechnology?

Modern biotechnology refers to the application of scientific techniques and principles to manipulate and modify living organisms, cells, and molecules for various purposes. It involves the use of advanced tools and technologies to understand, study, and modify biological systems at the molecular level. Modern biotechnology encompasses a wide range of fields, including genetic engineering, genomics, proteomics, bioinformatics, synthetic biology, and tissue engineering. It has applications in various sectors such as medicine, agriculture, environmental science, industrial manufacturing, and pharmaceuticals. Some examples of modern biotechnology include the development of genetically modified organisms (GMOs), gene therapy, cloning, and the production of biopharmaceuticals.
