Bioscience and technologies
Information on basic science knowledge; techniques and processes involved in gene technology; examples of applications in the dairy industry.
- Bioactives in Milk
Bioactives are specific molecules (proteins, peptides, lipids, carbohydrates) that have useful, health-giving properties
- Bioinformatics
The branch of computer science that deals with the collection, organisation, analysis or interrogation of biological information, particularly genetic information.
- Biotechnology
The use of tools, techniques, processes and systems that use living organisms or biological systems to modify processes or products for particular purposes.
- Cloning
Cloning is making a genetically identical copy of an adult animal.
- Functional genomics
Functional genomics is the branch of genomics that determines the biological function of genes and their products.
- Genetic modification
Genetic modification (GM) involves altering the genetic makeup of a plant or animal.
- Genomics and proteomics
Genomics looks at all the genes as a dynamic system, over time, to determine how they interact.
- Patenting inventions
A patent is an exclusive right granted for an invention to be used.
- Reproductive technologies and embryology
Reproductive technologies are associated with assisting and improving reproduction.
- Stem cell biology
Stem cells have become the subject of widespread attention due to the potential human health benefits they offer.
