The Future Growth Of The Biotechnology
White biotechnology, also known as grey biotechnology, is biotechnology applied to industrial processes. An example is the designing of an organism to produce a useful chemical. White biotechnology tends to consume less in resources than traditional processes used to produce industrial goods.Green biotechnology is biotechnology applied to agricultural processes. An example is the designing of transgenic plants to grow under specific environmental conditions or in the presence (or absence) of certain agricultural chemicals. One hope is that green biotechnology might produce more environmentally friendly solutions than traditional industrial agriculture. An example of this is the engineering of a plant to express a pesticide, thereby eliminating the need for external application of pesticides. An example of this would be Bt corn. Whether or not green biotechnology products such as this are ultimately more environmentally friendly is a topic of considerable debate.
The Future growth of Biotechnology:-- ̣€¢ First (now-2015) we will see more smart drugs, i.e. drugs increasingly designed based on understanding on how genes and proteins work and not just random hit-and-miss experiments with organic molecules. It will become increasingly possible to regulate the human metabolism using the THIRD way (i.e. not neural or hormonal, but artificial drug-induced way) ,working drugs for losing (not gaining) weight, no tropic drugs, etc.
̣€¢ Then (2015-2025) we are going to see first health-related genetic modifications. As e.g. Name describes in his book, there are several ways to modify ourselves - inject the protein (drug - Teacher Resources), add the DNA into the cell (noninsertional vectors) or into the nucleus ( insertion). By that time we will strongly feel the fallout from the Human Genome project, understanding a significant part of the complex genetic chemistry. First we are going to change the DNA to fix the health defects, removing bad genes or fixing them,
