Potential of Genetically Altered Crops in replenish-able energy.

, noticed that a mixture of widely available lab reagents and materials would promote the exponential replication of DNA in a test tube.

He noticed that over a bln copies of a DNA fragment may be made in an afternoon. On returning to Cetus Enterprise , he started lab work that would lead to an amazing patent. The Polymerase Chain Reaction or PCR system would shortly be used world wide to perform biotechnology experiments, clone genes, identify pathogens, and convict perpetrators.

A patent is a monopoly granted by the US govt on inventions. Developing nations can't remain mere spectators in the biotech game. Esther Kahangi, previous lecturer at Kenyas Jomo Kenyatta School of farming and Technology ( JKUAT ). This is a wonderful chance for the East African nations to explore the potential of rural biotechnology. Kahangi, a ground breaker in rural biotechnology in Kenya, must employ her influence and information to persuade other nations that modern biotechnology can play an integral role in food and energy sustainability.
