What is the main difference between biotechnology and genetic engineering?

Biotechnology is more of an umbrella term under which genetic engineering falls.
Biotechnology is basically the integration of bio-science with technology while Genetic engineering is manipulating DNA of an organism.
Biotechnology is a research oriented science that combines biology and technology.

Genetic engineering is manipulation of genetic material (DNA) of a living organism via artificial methods.
Often genetic engineering plays a part in biotech, but it is far from the only aspect of biotechnology.

Basically, biotechnology is a more general term. It is a wide field of science that involves the integration and application of technological tools in biological science to produce a product that may improve the quality of human life.
Bio-Technology has a large array Of of function to nano-robotics, Artificial Intellect, advance in artificial limb creation and more.


Genetic engineering is one of the many tools of biotechnology that involves direct manipulation of DNA to alter (enhance) an organism’s characteristic.

Genetic engineering is a term that actually refers to a general laboratory process through which living beings are fine tuned for research and commercial purposes.

Biotechnology on the other hand, is making use of the findings gathered by genetic engineering. So, biotechnology refers to a quite old discipline which started with manipulation of living beings to make useful stuff (no direct manipulation on DNA is required for this) such as agriculture and brewing.

Bio-genetic: Can Alter and Study genome and sequencing, etc!
