INDUSTRY DEFINITION

Biotechnology is the application of science and technology to living organisms as
well as parts, products and models thereof, to alter living or non-living materials
for the production of knowledge and biotechnology products and services. The
definition of biotechnology as used by the US Census Bureau and the National Science
Foundation is: the application of molecular and cellular processes to solve
problems, conduct research, and create goods and services. Biotechnology includes a
diverse collection of technologies that manipulate cellular, sub-cellular, or
molecular components in living things to make products or discover new knowledge
about the molecular and genetic basis of life, or to modify plants, animals and
micro-organisms to carry desired traits. Such technologies include, but are not
limited to: genetic engineering (e.g. recombinant DNA, gene therapy, cloning,
antisense); hybridoma technology (to produce monoclonal antibodies); polymerase
chain reaction or PCR amplification; gene mapping; DNA sequencing; restriction
fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis; and protein engineering.
