Biotechnology is also, however, a complex combination of scientific disciplines beset by jargon and buzz words. This is a practical introduction to the ideas and terminology of biotechnology. It uses non-technical language to unravel the jargon for the non-specialist and explains over 1000 terms in 250 short entries.
