In the end, a glossary of relevant terms and several appendices with useful information have been provided. The book has been written in simple language in a style I followed for teaching to my students. The concepts have been explained with the help of suitable diagrams and every effort has been made to maintain readability and facilitate easy comprehension. It is expected to serve as the basic reading resource for the students of biotechnology and would be helpful in various competitive examinations.
