| Abstract from DBPedia | Biotechnology is the integration of natural sciences and engineering sciences in order to achieve the application of organisms, cells, parts thereof and molecular analogues for products and services. The term biotechnology was first used by Károly Ereky in 1919, meaning the production of products from raw materials with the aid of living organisms.生物工学（せいぶつこうがく、英語: biological engineering）は、生物学の知見を元にし、実社会に有用な利用法をもたらす技術の総称である。ただし定義は明確ではなく、バイオテクノロジー（英語: biotechnlogy）やバイオニクス（英語: bionics）の訳語として使われる場合が多く、この両方を含んだ学問の領域と捉えることに矛盾しない。また、特に遺伝子操作をする場合には、遺伝子工学と呼ばれる場合もある。 (Source: http://dbpedia.org/resource/Biotechnology) |
