Abstract: Abstract The development of biotechnology in Kenya over the last two decades reflects a steady transition from traditional, low-end biotechnologies such as fermentation, bio-fertilizers, and tissue culture techniques (Odame et al., 2003) towards more sophisticated, modern techniques and applications comprising the use of molecular markers, novel vaccines, diagnostic tools, and genetic engineering.
