Modern biotechnology is the creative application of nature’s own innovations at the cellular and molecular level concealed in and around living organisms. These innovations can be uncovered by unleashing and translating the information locked in the genome of these organisms. Hence, the study of genomes or genomics has become the major platform for biotechnology.
