Biotechnology is an interdisciplinary subject covering many areas of subjects like Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Computer And Statistics.
Biology combined with Chemistry is Biochemistry, and when combined with Physics, it will be Biophysics. Also, Computational Biology means when Biology combined with Computer (Bioinformatics).
Biotechnology covers vast areas of interest. From this subject, we know about the biological structure of various carbohydrate, protein, fat, mineral and vitamins, their mode of action, about their metabolism and so on. From Biophysics, we learn about the technique of separating mixtures of macromolecules like chromatography and crystallography, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and other biophysical tools for analysis. Through Computational Biology, we get clusters of information from the National Centre For Biological Information Ie. NCBI. Various websites and software tools like Fasta Blast etc. are availiable for computational analysis of molecule species, pedigree analysis and so on.
Also, there are various types of information we retrieve by studying Biotechnology:
Recombinant DNA Technology
DNA Typing Proteomics, Transcriptomics, Immunological Study Of Pathogenicity Of Disease Model Organism Of Human Genome Project And Cancer Genetics.
From monogenic to polygenic disorder and anatomical overview of various animals and plants, genetic engineering is also an approach to cure genetics disorder using multiple procedures. So, who loves to study Biology And Chemistry, Biotechnology opens a new horizon of information for them.
