An applied field of biology that involves the use of living organisms and bioprocesses in engineering, technology, medicine and other fields requiring bioproducts. () It is the products and exploitation from other fundamental Biotechnology Traditional biotechnology refers to a number of ancient ways of using living organisms to make new products or modify existing ones. In its broadest definition, traditional biotechnology can be traced back to human's transition from hunter-gatherer to farmer. As farmers, humans collected wild plants and cultivated them and the best yielding strains were selected for growing the following seasons | Molecular Biotechnology Tran Ngoc Duc, PhD VIETNAM NATIONAL UNIVERSITY AT HO CHI MINH CITY INTERNATIONAL UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF BIOTECHNOLOGY Time and location 12/09/11-10/12/11: Thurs. afternoon: 4hrs Evaluation Writing exam Percentage: Reference Glick, . and Pasternak, (2003) Molecular Biotechnology: Principles & Applications of Recombinant DNA, 3rd ed.
