Content
Agricultural Biotechnology is a subject that encompasses both plant and animal-based biotechnological solutions to agricultural problems. The unit is divided along those lines, and we will first explore plant biotechnology and its many real-world applications. In the second half of the trimester, we will focus on advances in the areas of animal biotechnology, from breeding to gene editing. Students will also be introduced to the role of big data in biotechnology, learning how bioinformatics and computational tools are used in various aspects of research and innovation to drive advancements in the field.
