 Molecular biology techniques are used to genetically engineer or modify the genome of animals in order to improve their suitability for pharmaceutical, agricultural or industrial applications. This branch of biotechnology works on producing genetically modified animals that synthesize therapeutic proteins, have improved growth rates or are resistant to diseases. This field provides new tools for improving human health, animal health and welfare, and helps in increasing livestock productivity. Biotechnology also helps in improving an animal’s impact on the environment and also enhances ability to detect, treat and prevent diseases.
