As a field of applied biology, biotechnology deals with the use of living organisms and engineering, technology, and medicine processes to create bio-products. Genetic engineering, as well as cell or tissue culture technology also plays major roles in this field of study. Basically, the study of biotechnology is intended to modify living organisms, usually for the benefit of humans. Cultivation of various plants and domestication of animals are some of the common uses of biotechnology. Also, improvements to plants and animals can be done through breeding programs that makes use of hybridization and artificial selection techniques.
Modern biological sciences such as molecular biology, biochemistry, embryology, and bioprocess engineering are dependent to biotechnology. In fact, this area of knowledge is also essential in the advancements of medicine, agriculture, biological engineering and biodegradation fields. Nowadays, there are newly derived branches of biotechnology. These include bioinformatics, blue biotechnology, green biotechnology, green biotechnology, red biotechnology, and white biotechnology. Each of these has its specific purpose in various industries and further health development.
