Considers the public concerns surrounding the agricultural and food uses of genetically modified organisms. Looks at a risk-assessment procedure in which each new genetically modified crop has to be vetted...
Presenter Liz Bonnin meets the scientists, inventors and entrepreneurs, whose innovations are changing the shape of the future. Scientists with backgrounds in medicine, nanotechnology, biotechnology and...
Looks at attempts to create food products through biotechnology. Genetic engineers claim that food shortages in the developing countries could be overcome by transferring genes from plants which can survive...
Biotechnology is revolutionising life in the 21st century, but with every breakthrough comes controversy. Do the benefits of stem cell technology, gene-splicing, and other advances outweigh the risks? Using...
Professor Patricia Hannah Clarke’s main research was on bacterial enzymes: their evolution and properties, and producing and purifying them for industrial use. She was also involved in developments in...
Shows how DNA is extracted and purified before being analysed using electrophoresis. Southern blotting and probing of the DNA using a radioactively labelled probe. These techniques form the basis of DNA...
This CD-ROM surveys six of the most important model systems currently in use in biological and biomedical research laboratories: the mouse, phage lambda, Drosophila, Arabidopsis, C. elegans, and yeast. The...
Decision Makers, presented by Jo Andrews. Examines Enoch Powell’s controversial Unborn Children Protection Bill, designed to stop research on human embryos. With contributions from Enoch Powell; Robert...
Notes the importance of potatoes in the human diet and the world economy, and looks at how scientists are using genetically engineering better, sweeter, and disease-resistant crops.
Looks at oilseed rape, which has become a major crop in England, and discusses its many uses. Genetic engineers hybridise it with alien species and materials, to produce plastics, oil and foodstuffs.
