In general, biotechnology is defined as the use of biological systems or living organisms for the development of its products. The same is true for biopharmaceuticals, also known as biotech drugs, or biologics. Biotech drugs are also called large molecule drugs because they have a large, complex...
rotundiformis has increased enormously during the past three decades and these two species are the best-studied rotifers so far. While much of the research on these species is directed or devoted to the needs of aquaculture industry, they are also used as models for addressing basic biological...
We evaluated this approach on simulated ST data where ground truth is known (Supplementary Fig. 1a). Although the fraction of incorrectly mapped cells (defined as above) was already low before applying this filter (<5%), it successfully distinguished correctly mapped cells from incorrectly mapped ...
It is important to note again that there is no one definition of the best structural alignment56,57 and that this task becomes increasingly ambiguous as the remoteness of the homolog increases and the number of homologous residues declines. This was apparent in the Malidup benchmark, where the...

Citric acid is considered as the most economically feasible product of microbiological production, therefore studies on cheap and renewable raw materials for its production are highly desirable. In this study citric acid was synthesized by genetically en
Insulin-like growth factor one (IGF-1) is under the control of growth hormone (GH) and regulates growth and metabolism in the body [110]. To a large extent, the circulating levels of GH and IGF-1 depend on nutrient intake as well as the action of hormones that act on the hypothalamus...
Is it possible to patent cloning? While it may be possible to obtain a patent for the laboratory techniques used to manipulate a genome, it is not possible to obtain patent protection for a process for the cloning of human beings. This is defined as any process, including techniques of embr...
However, development of the whole adiponectin protein as a drug is difficult because of the extreme insolubility of the C-terminal globular domain and its larger peptide fragments. In addition, until now, the adiponectin active site has not been mapped. Consequently, we attempted to generate small...
