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.
