We are in the midst of a revolution. Need to track a bacterium at the root of a hospital outbreak? It is a scientific revolution built upon the tools of molecular biology, with which we probe and prod the living world in ways unimaginable a few decades ago.
We insert human DNA into E. No problem: the offending germ's complete genetic profile can be obtained in 24 hours. coli bacteria to produce our insulin.It is natural to look at biotechnology in the 21st century with a mix of wonder and fear.
But biotechnology is not as 'unnatural' as one might think. All living organisms use the same molecular processes to replicate their genetic material and the same basic code to 'read' their genes. The similarities can be seen in their DNA.
Here, John Archibald shows how evolution has been 'plugging-and-playing' with the subcellular components of life from the very beginning and
