Biotechnology
Description
This program describes three practical applications of DNA technology: the use of gene transfer to improve plant species, the use of molecular probes to quickly identify disease-causing organisms, and the development of antigen vaccines. The program makes very effective use of live video action, animation, and narration to explain and summarize these practical applications in the fast-moving field of genetic engineering.
