DNA contains all of the information required to grow and build a whole organism, from a
bacterium to a plant, to a human. Studying the DNA of living organisms provides us with more
information on how our body (or a plant or an animal) works and what happens when things go
wrong.
Biotechnology is the use of living organisms to create products or to do tasks for us.
Researchers use DNA, genes, yeast, bacteria and cells to create things.
This section discusses some of the main techniques used in modern gene technology.
