Biotechnology refers to any technique that uses living organisms or parts of these organisms. Such techniques are used to make or modify products for a practical purpose. Modern medicine, agriculture and industry make use of biotechnology on a large scale. Traditional biotechnologies such as the use of yeast to make bread or wine have been applied for thousands of years.
