Although we have been shaping the natural world since our first appearance on Earth, we now find ourselves in the midst of a new revolution: biotechnology. Visitors to this exhibit will explore the gene and protein science that's the basis for the latest biotech innovations. Throughout history, we have been breeding crops and animals to our advantage and harnessing microorganisms to make bread, cheese, and wine. Now, armed with an ever-growing knowledge of the processes of life, we're curing diseases, creating new drugs, and genetically modifying foods.
