Several branches of biotechnology.



Bioinformatics: Bioinformatics is an interdisciplinary field which addresses biological problems using computational techniques, and makes the rapid organization and analysis of biological data possible. Bioinformatics plays a key role in various areas, such as functional genomics, structural genomics and proteomics in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical sector.
Blue Biotechnology: Blue Biotechnology is a term that has been used to describe the marine and aquatic applications of biotechnology. But now use of this term is relatively rare.
Green biotechnology: Green biotechnology is biotechnology applied to agricultural processes. An example of this branch is the selection and domestication of plants via micropropagation. Another example is the designing of transgenic plants to grow under specific environments in the presence (or absence) of chemicals. One hope is that green biotechnology might produce more environmentally friendly solutions than traditional industrial agriculture.
Red biotechnology: Red biotechnology is applied to medical processes. Some examples are the designing of organisms through genetic engineering to produce antibiotic and the engineering of genetic cures through genetic manipulation.
White biotechnology: White biotechnology also known as industrial biotechnology, so it is biotechnology applied to the industrial processes. An example is the designing of an organism to produce a useful chemical.
