How Do You Understand Different Biotechnology Jobs?
When the term “biotechnology” comes up, many people cower in fear. Often they simply don’t understand what it means. However, people have used technology to modify organic material (that is, biotechnology) for thousands of years. Every bottle of fermented beer or wine on the shelves is a product of biotechnology at work. Learn the few main categories of biotechnology applications in which people have jobs. Agriculture, industry, medicine and bioinformatics are the most common. Within those categories there are various specialties. Realize that the agriculture category includes food modifications such as fermentation, and that this is the oldest branch of biotechnology. More recently, scientists have been able to genetically modify crops to avoid disease, increase yield, produce food more cheaply and achieve many other beneficial results. Investigate industrial applications of biotechnology, which include using organic means for pest control, improving soil quality and cleaning up the e
