Glossary of Biotechnology Terms, Second Edition

In the fast-paced field of biotechnology, it is important to keep current with the latest terminology. Now in its second edition, the Glossary of Biotechnology Terms has been updated to aid in effective communication among those in and around the biotechnology field.
Almost double in size from the first, the second edition of this comprehensive guide is packed with over 2,000 definitions. Written for a global audience, the new edition now contains metric units and international symbols. This volume has been updated to include all the biotech developments that have occurred since its last publication in 1993. Much more than definitions, the Glossary provides a detailed history of the field of biotechnology, making it a convenient source of information for both novices and professionals alike.
The Glossary of Biotechnology Terms serves as a handy reference for those with little or no training in the bio and chemical sciences because it has been written in non-technical language. The book uses a sequential "reference chain" that allows the reader to stop once he or she has reached a satisfactory level of understanding or continue on to more basic, simpler definitions. Since everyone has a different understanding of biotechnical terminology based on his or her experiences, the Glossary accommodates a wide range of audience needs.
