Abstract
"In the last century, a number of scientific discoveries such as information technology, genetic engineering and biotechnology marked the arrival of a new era of scientific advancement. Biotechnology has a long history. Since the beginning of the civilization when human beings learned the art of ‘planting crops’ and ‘breeding animals’, they also learned, at the same time, how to ferment fruitjuice into wine, beer, and cheese, how to convert milk into yoghurt, and how to make spongy-bread by using bacteria and yeast. All these activities are the nascent stage of biotechnology. During the last few decades, biotechnology has ushered into various technologies; some of these are: (i) bio-processing such as using in vitro manipulation of cells, (ii) recombinant DNA technology, and (iii) monoclonal antibodies.
