This U.S. industry comprises establishments primarily engaged in conducting biotechnology research and experimental development. Biotechnology research and experimental development involves the study of the use of microorganisms and cellular and biomolecular processes to develop or alter living or non-living materials. This research and development in biotechnology may result in development of new biotechnology processes or in prototypes of new or genetically-altered products that may be reproduced, utilized, or implemented by various industries.
Illustrative Examples:
Recombinant DNA research and experimental development laboratories DNA technologies (e.g., microarrays) research and experimental development laboratories Cloning research and experimental development laboratories Protein engineering research and experimental development laboratories Nucleic acid chemistry research and experimental development laboratories Nanobiotechnologies research and experimental development laboratories
