A plain language guide to the extraordinary new science of genetic recombination and the questions it raises, with details of how biotechnology impacts life and the environment. The contents include some basic science, applications in agriculture, health and industry, ethical dilemmas, patents, regulation, glossary etc. Biotechnology for tbe 21st Century: New Horizons. (1995) US Government Printing OffIce, Superintendent of Documents, Mail Stop, SSOP, Washington DC, USA 20402-9328. Stock Number 038-000-00590-1. This is a report from the Biotechnology Research Subcommittee on Fundamental Science, US National Science and Technology Council. The report identifies three priority areas for research: to discover, characterize, modify and control the genetics and biochemical products and processes of a broad range of terrestrial and marine organisms; to apply tools of biotechnology to agriculture, the environment and manufacturing to facilitate new products, processes and test methods; strengthen repositories, databases, reference standards and human resources. In agriculture, specific priorities are: mapping and sequencing animal, plant and microbial genomes as a prelude to gene modification; determine biochemical and genetic control mechanisms leading to novel foods; extend understanding of growth and development of animals and plants; elucidate the molecular basis of interactions of animals and plants with their physical and biological environments; enhance food safety assurance methodologies with tests for contaminants in food and water.
