“The rewards for biotechnology are tremendous -to solve disease, eliminate poverty, age gracefully. It sounds so much cooler than Facebook”

Humans are born without bacteria, and they first acquire them while moving through the birth canal. Babies born through a C-section have a different microbiota from those born through vaginal birth. Such babies are at high risk of conditions such as obesity and allergies.

Each cell in your body contains about 2 meters of DNA. If the whole DNA in one person was laid end to end in a straight line, it would measure up to 200 billion kilometres that is more than a thousand times the distance from the earth to the sun.

----------Fact----------

Biotechnology has been in use since 1919, and its first application was in a DNA recombination experiment with bacteria. Today, biotechnology has been applied in the manufacture of medicines, medical devices, diagnostic tools, biomaterials, and food production.

Each cell in your body contains about 2 meters of DNA. If the whole DNA in one person was laid end to end in a straight line, it would measure up to 200 billion kilometres that is more than a thousand times the distance from the earth to the sun.
