It unites disciplines like botany, zoology, chemistry, physics, mathematics & common sense, which are in turn coupled to sensible disciplines like engineering. One can look at red biotechnology (medical processes), grey biotechnology (industrial processes), green biotechnology (agricultural processes), blue biotechnology (marine & aquatic applications) and modern biotechnology also finds promising applications in pharmacogenomics, drug production, genetic testing & gene therapy (but currently attractive only
