For Biotechnology we have terms and definitions in 12 topics. The topics are Breast Cancer, Clinical Trials, Environment, Ethics, Food, Food and Health, Genetics, Genetics and Food, Genome, HIV and AIDs, Microbiology and Science.

Biotechnology (Breast Cancer)

The use of living organisms or their products to manufacture or modify a substance.

Biotechnology (Clinical Trials)

Any technique that uses living organisms, or substances from organisms, biological systems, or processes to make or modify a product or process, to change plants or animals, or to develop micro-organisms for specific uses.

Biotechnology (Environment)

Techniques that use living organisms or parts of organisms to produce a variety of products (from medicines to industrial enzymes) to improve plants or animals or to develop microorganisms to remove toxics from bodies of water, or act as pesticides.

Biotechnology (Ethics)

As defined by the U.S. government, this refers to any technique that uses living organisms (or parts of organisms) to make or modify products, to improve plants and animals, or to develop microorganisms for specific use. Biotechnology focuses on the practical applications of science (as opposed to doing "science for science sake"). Historically, biotechnology has had an impact in three main areas: health, food/agriculture and environmental protection. Biotechnologists try to solve problems in these and other areas such as the need to cure or prevent illness, for clean water, and to preserve food.

Biotechnology (Food)

E simplest definition of biotechnology is "applied biology." e application of biological knowledge and techniques to develop products. may be further defined as the use of living organisms to make a product or run a process. this definition, the classic techniques used for plant and animal breeding, fermentation and enzyme purification would be considered biotechnology. me people use the term only to refer to newer tools of genetic science. this context, biotechnology may be defined as the use of biotechnical methods to modify the genetic materials of living cells so they will produce new substances or perform new functions. amples include recombinant DNA technology, in which a copy of a piece of DNA containing one or a few genes is transferred between organisms or "recombined" within an organism.

Biotechnology (Food and Health)

The simplest definition of biotechnology is "applied biology." The application of biological knowledge and techniques to develop products. It may be further defined as the use of living organisms to make a product or run a process. By this definition, the classic techniques used for plant and animal breeding, fermentation and enzyme purification would be considered biotechnology. Some people use the term only to refer to newer tools of genetic science. In this context, biotechnology may be defined as the use of biotechnical methods to modify the genetic materials of living cells so they will produce new substances or perform new functions. Examples include recombinant DNA technology, in which a copy of a piece of DNA containing one or a few genes is transferred between organisms or "recombined" within an organism.

Biotechnology (Genetics)

The use of biologic al processes to manufacture products.

Biotechnology (Genetics and Food)

Biotechnology is the use of biological systems (living things) to make or change products (such as food products).

Biotechnology (Genome)

A set of biological techniques developed through basic research and now applied to research and product development. In particular, biotechnology refers to the use by industry of recombinant DNA, cell fusion, and new bioprocessing techniques.

Biotechnology (HIV and AIDs)

1. Using living organisms or their products to make or modify a substance. Techniques include recombinant DNA (see Genetic Engineering) and hybridoma technology. 2. Industrial application of biological research, particularly in fields such as recombinant DNA or gene splicing, which produces synthetic hormones or enzymes by combining genetic material from different species.

Biotechnology (Microbiology)

A set of biological techniques developed through basic research and now applied to research and product development. In particular, the use by industry of recombinant DNA, cell fusion, and new bioprocessing techniques.

Biotechnology (Science)

The integration of natural sciences and engineering sciences in order to achieve the application of organisms, cells, parts thereof and molecular analogues for products and services
