Biotech pertains to any type of technology that utilizes biology to complete its task. It is commonly used to describe a higher level of technological intervention, specifically (but not always) in agriculture. Biotech is divided into four central subcategories which are labeled by colors. They are Red, Blue, White and Green.
The Red field of biotech is used to describe the medical field, while Blue pertains to aquatic uses of biological technology. The Green field deals with plants and growing, and finally the White (sometimes referred to as grey) one refers to the industry field.
The Red area of biotech is the part used to create new medicines to aid the body in fighting illnesses and disease, mainly using bacteria to produce drugs. Some new methods exist altering certain cells in the human body to cure a disease as well. The Green field of biotech which is the most broadly known and used field, is the longest existing use of biotechnology by human beings. This field pertains to dealings with plants such as altering their genetic makeup to reject certain chemicals or pests in the case of crops, or even selective breeding. The Blue area of biotech is generally more new and very rarely used. Today, the research and development branch of biotech has evolved into a very large and important part of our lives. Researchers are now able to combine DNA from different life forms, and be able to appoint which set of sequences in the DNA are responsible for specific genetic traits. This goes for both the bad and the good traits. This allows the technicians to be able to enhance and promote desirable traits in DNA and discard the unwanted ones, and be able to transport the traits among life forms.
Over the last few decades biotech research centers have increased drastically in existence. In the beginning there were only research centers within government facilities due to funding, but with the growing interest in biotech and in the betterment of the quality of life, they have expanded. Universities all over the world have added private biotech research centers, private investors have also designed their own and constructed them. The numbers of people in the field have grown so much, and rightfully so, the field itself has grown in its efforts as well. Biotech research will continue to grow on its own and new cures, vaccines, and other elements will come of it because of the roadway its paved so
