Biotechnology includes a wide variety of technologies and many completely diverse applications and products. To further make easily differentiate the biotech field of studies one distinguishes with color codes. The following briefings are all about the different color assignments of colors. Pharmaceutical biotechnology (Red Biotechnology) is a branch of biotechnology that deals distinctively with human health care concern and techniques of treatment in the course of the development of medicines like antibiotics. This field of study can also engage research on genes through germ line engineering as well as gene treatment in adult patients.

Industrial biotechnology (White biotechnology) is used for industrial applications. Industries integrating organic materials, living organisms, or chemical components of living organisms like enzymes in the course of production. White biotechnology currently includes researches on alternate energy sources, the creation of biomaterials, and manufacturing processes. Agricultural biotechnology (Green Biotechnology) commonly refers the use of genetic science to get a better quality and efficient crops varieties. This is sometimes conducted directly using genetic engineering, and indirectly using selective breeding. Marine biotechnology (Blue biotechnology) includes those activities that consist of the marine resources, either as the source or target of marine biotechnology application. This means everything from gaining a new cancer curing from a deep-sea sponge to developing an inventive buoy system for supervising ocean pollution.
