Need a way to refresh your lessons in genetics through multimedia resources? Biotechnology is a rapidly growing field that uses research from biology and chemistry to find solutions to current scientific problems. Help students understand how gene cloning, DNA sequencing, and bio-engineering touch their every day lives. From the food we eat, to the drugs we take, and the jobs that we train for, biotechnology is a science for the new millennium.
