The Molecular Approach behind Biotechnological Common Problems by Jorge A De los Santos* in Journal of Biotechnology & Bioresearch _ Journal of Biotechnology
Abstract
A
fascinating concept in biology, in my personal opinion, is how cells are able
to make new cells expressing the information from genes to proteins all over
the earth. From unicellular
organisms, viruses, mycoplasma, protozoa, cancer cells, neurons to the most
complex biological organisms and complex ecosystems, all of them rely on the
gene expression. Darwin in his famous book “On the Origin of Species” in 1859,
states that the species of organisms live and evolve through the natural
selection processes. In 1976 Richard Dawkins states in his book “The Selfish
Gene”, that genes are the central piece in the way natural selection operates
[1]. In this paper, I am going to explore the relationship between genes under
the “selfish” rule and how these can inspire new technologies.
Genes
are the smallest unit of information independent to each other. In fact, cell, organisms, and genomes
particularly are mere vectors of the information carry on the genes. The
immunological response that prevents microbial infections is based on the
production of the antibodies. These proteins are produced by B-lymphocytes
cells and encode in the DNA [2]. In fact, each of this cell produces a
particular protein called antigen and involve the rearrangement of the genes in
the cell. In order to produce and fight against the exogenous organisms the
immunological system is able to constantly produce new variation of genes
