A Review of the Size, Scope and Success Factors of the Biotechnology Industry in the US.DUBLIN, Ireland -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c35100) has announced the addition of Biotechnology in the US to their offering. 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 In economics, economic output is divided into physical goods and intangible services. Consumption of goods and services is assumed to produce utility (unless the "good" is a "bad"). It is often used when referring to a Goods and Services Tax. . 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 hybridoma /hy·brid·o·ma/ (hi?brid-o´mah) a somatic cell hybrid formed by fusion of normal lymphocytes and tumor cells. hy·brid·o·ma n. technology (to produce monoclonal antibodies); polymerase chain reaction polymerase chain reaction (pŏl`ĭmərās') (PCR), laboratory process in which a particular DNA segment from a mixture of DNA chains is rapidly replicated, producing a large, readily analyzed sample of a piece of DNA; the process is or PCR PCR polymerase chain reaction. PCR abbr. polymerase chain reaction Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification; gene mapping; DNA sequencing; restriction fragment length polymorphism restriction fragment length polymorphism n. Abbr. RFLP Intraspecies variations in the length of DNA fragments generated by the action of restriction enzymes and caused by mutations that alter the sites at which these enzymes act, changing (RFLP RFLP abbr. restriction fragment length polymorphism RFLP restriction fragment length polymorphism. RFLP ) analysis; and protein engineering. This report covers the scope, size, disposition and growth of the industry including the key sensitivities and success factors. Also included are five year industry forecasts, growth rates and an analysis of the industry key players and their market shares.
