Activity 2: Summary and Reflection

Directions: Write a summary and reflection based on the video links that will be sent in
the Group Chat.
Video No. 1 Title: 6 useful methods china uses to convert desert into
productive lands rich with crops
Summary:
6 useful Methods China Uses In Turning Desert Into Productive Lands:

1. Planting Trees And Vegetation
2. Planting Crops And Vegetables
3. Using Polylactic Acid Sand Barriers To Stop Desertification
4. Using New Technology To Turn Desert Sand Into Soil
5. Planting Watermelon
6. Planting Licorice Trees
Reflection:
China is very well known for its effort of turning desert into productive
lands. They have initiated, implemented and applied many kinds of
techniques, innovative methods and new technologies in order to
transform their big desert regions into productive lands,rich with
crops, vegetation and trees. As a result, they are now benefiting from
what they have done in their big desert areas.
2020
Video No. 2 Title: Bioinformatics explained English
Summary:
- Bioinformatics is the application of techniques from computer

science to problems from biology.
- The term of Bioinformatics itself is made up of two parts, Bio as

biology, and Informatics as in information.
- Bioinformatics is a rapidly developing of biology and is vastly

interdiscipinary, using techniques and ideas from Informatics,
statistics, mathematics, chemistry, biochemistry, physics, and
linguistics.
Reflection:
- This information can be the genetic code contained in our DNA which
is like a recipe book, or blueprint for your body, telling it how to make
everything from muscles, to hair and toes.
- It can be patient statistics, telling us what is making people sick, and

what medicines are working.Or information that allows us to create
images of things too small for even the most powerful microscope to
see, allowing us to study how they behave.
- In fact, sometimes there is so much information that only way to get

through it all is using computers.Computers can search through all
this information quickly, finding what causes diseases, helping us find
new treatment, and understand how complex living organisms work.

Activity 3: Write-up
Directions: Prepare a write-up for your assigned colors of biotechnology with the
following parts: color of biotechnology, description, history, aim/purpose,
applications, and its future.
Black Biotechnology (Bioterorrism, Biowarfare)
Color of Biotechnology and Name
Definition:
-Black biotechnology, also referred to as bioterrorism, involves the deliberate

use of biological organisms for bioterrorism, biowarfare to harm people for
several purposes. Thus it represents the negative aspects of this innovative
science.
-It investigates pathogenic,virulent and resistant microorganisms, to convert

them into biological weapons or counteract their harmful effects.
History:
-Biological weapons include any microorganism (such as bacteria, viruses, or
fungi) or toxin (poisonous compounds produced by microorganisms) found in
nature that can be used to kill or injure people.
-Biological warfare reached sophistication during the 1900s. During World

War I, the German Army developed anthrax, glanders, cholera, and a wheat
fungus specifically for use as biological weapons. They allegedly spread plague
in St. ... In 1942, the United States formed the War Research Service.
2020
Aim/Purpose:
-The thing that makes biotechnology dark is the intentional use and
dissemination of harmful microorganisms, pathogens, or toxins to cause
disruption of humans, crops, and livestock. Regardless of the great
advantages that biotechnology has delivered, it has also provided tools to
destroy lives and the environment.
2020
Applications and Products:
Biological Warfare-Biological warfare, also known as germ warfare, is the use
of biological toxins or infectious agents such as plagues, bacteria, viruses,
insects, and fungi with the intent to kill, harm or incapacitate humans,
animals or plants as an act of war. Biological weapons are living organisms or
replicating entities.
Biological Weapons-Biological weapons are microorganisms like virus,

bacteria, fungi, or other toxins that are produced and released deliberately to
cause disease and death in humans, animals or plants. ... Bioterrorism
attacks could also result in an epidemic, for example if Ebola or Lassa viruses
were used as the biological agents.
Future:
Although biological weapons are as old as the hills (if not older), modern
technology brings new worries. Some experts are concerned about recent
advances in gene editing technology.
When utilized for good, the latest tools can work wonders. However — as with
most cutting-edge technology — there is always the potential for misuse.
A gene editing technology called CRISPR has set off alarm bells in the defense
community; the technology allows researchers to edit genomes, thereby easily
modifying DNA sequences to alter gene function.

Activity 3: Write-up
Directions: Prepare a write-up for your assigned colors of biotechnology with the
following parts: color of biotechnology, description, history, aim/purpose,
applications, and its future.
Gold Biotechnology (Bioinformatics)
Color of Biotechnology and Name
Definition:
-Gold biotechnology is responsible for everything related to bioinformatics,
from software to hardware, used in the data analysis of biological processes.
-Gold biotechnology, also known as bioinformatics, is a cross between

biological processes and computing that plays a key role in biological data.
History:
-was founded in 1986 by Dr. Paul Gold as a low cost provider of high-quality
research chemicals. Goldbio.com has grown to feature over 2,500 products for
cell and molecular biology.
- Gold Biotechnology provides products to clients all over the world who
demand top quality products at a price that promotes discovery.
Aim/Purpose:
-concentrates on the treatment of arid and desert-like soils drawing from
species that are highly resistant to dry and saline soils. Gold biotechnology is
responsible for everything related to bioinformatics, from software to
hardware, used in the data analysis of biological processes.
-Gold Biotechnology provides products to clients all over the world who
demand top quality products at a price that promotes discovery. GoldBio has
evolved significantly, expanding its catalog from three products to more than
3000 products.
2020
Applications and Products:
1. Handling of vast biological data
Bioinformatics provides the facility for the availability of big data for future use that further
helps to utilize this data for data mining and analysis.
2. Designing of primer sequence for PCR
Bioinformatics plays an important role in designing primer that is used in the process of PCR
.i.e. Polymerase Chain Reaction. In bioinformatics there several online tools that are helping to
design effective PCR primers.
3. Phylogenetic analysis
Bioinformatics application is also shown in phylogenetic analysis that helps in the estimation of
evolutionary history, identification of rate of evolution, prediction of sequence function, and
helps to identify the population history.
Future:
-A new approach in gold biotechnology which involves the implementation of

both bioinformatics and nanotechnology.
-This field related to the research and datermination of which information is

relevant to nanoscience and nanoengineering
