The language associated with the technologies employed in biotechnology and GMO testing develops as fast as the science, thus, in the last two decades a rich new technical jargon has evolved. The following links will direct you to various glossaries that will help you decipher this new terminology.

FAO BIOTECHNOLOGY GLOSSARY
Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations:
The new edition of the "Glossary of Biotechnology for Food and Agriculture" tries to provide a consolidated, comprehensive list of terms and acronyms that are used regularly in biotechnology sensu lato and in the very broad area commonly called "genetic engineering".

PCRLInks.com
Project by Silvio Jesús Krivokapich:
The objective is to provide a free and exclusive Web guide of Polymerase Chain Reaction techniques, with the purpose of orienting and facilitating the task search to students, teachers and researchers, and to provide a site of exchange of information among its visitors.

ASA Glossary of biotechnology terms
Kimball Nill, American Soybean Association (ASA):
The Glossary of Biotechnology Terms is meant to provide a general introduction rather than to be absolute and legally definitive and includes terms from biology, biochemistry, and chemistry.

GMO COMPASS – GLOSSARY
European Union:
GMO COMPASS is a website supported by the European Union and containing a GMO database about GM plant application information and description, and publicly available documents.

GMO SAFETY – Glossary
Federal Ministry of Education and Research, Germany:
The GMO-Safety.eu site is being developed as part of the collaborative project on Communications Management in Biological Safety Research commissioned by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research.

MOLECULAR MARKERS GLOSSARY
Institute for Genomic Diversity, Cornell University:
The Interactive Resource Center (IRC) was created to support scientists working on plant genetic resources and breeding. The Molekular Markers Glossary is a tool to assist the using of molecular marker technology in studies on plant genetic diversity.
