Biotechnology is one of the fastest emerging fields that has attracted attention of conventional biologists, biochemists, microbiologists, medical and agricultural scientists. The coming decades are likely to witness a boom in biotechnology, which is expected to surpass information technology as the new engine of the global economy. Biotechnology is experiencing a revolution that will affect every facet of our lives, from crop improvement to commerce, drugs and sustainable development. New approaches and a plethora of information available at a frantic pace demands its dissemination to the scientific community. The current book has been written with the specific objective of providing information on the recent developments in biotechnology to the readers.

The proposed book presents a multidisciplinary approach to the latest information and developments in biotechnology in an easy-to-read, succinct format. The book has been divided into 6 sections and 15 chapters giving an in-depth analysis of the latest research and developments in the biotechnological realm. The topics have been presented in a lucid, easy-to-read methodical way with illustrations and suitable case studies to provide additional help and clarity. The authors have tried to present state-of-the-art and integrative information in a manner that familiarizes the reader with the important concepts and tools of recent biotechnological studies. Apart from biotechnological personnel, the book would also be useful for readers of diverse disciplines such as bioinformatics, agriculture, environmental science, pharmaceutical sciences, biochemistry and general biology.
