Biotechnology is the use of organisms or parts of organisms to make products or carry out tasks. Biotechnology is based on a very important discovery: the identification in 1953 of the nature of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) as the basic genetic material that is found in each cell and that contains the "blueprint" for the entire organism. DNA has been mapped and cataloged with great precision. By manipulating DNA, scientists have been able to create organisms that perform new tasks or that produce substances they would not normally produce.
