Genetic Engineering: The practice of engineering is focused on making things better; can living organisms be improved for human benefit?
About this ebook
The alteration and manipulation of the genes in an organism via the use of technology is referred to as genetic engineering and is also known as genetic modification or genetic manipulation. It is a collection of techniques that may alter the genetic make-up of cells, including the transfer of genes both inside and across species, with the goal of producing creatures that are superior to or unique from those that already exist. Either by isolating and copying the genetic material of interest using recombinant DNA techniques or by chemically synthesising the DNA, new DNA may be created. Recombinant DNA methods can be found here. In most cases, a construct is built and then used for the purpose of inserting this DNA into the host organism. Paul Berg created the first recombinant DNA molecule in 1972 by mixing the DNA of two different viruses, namely SV40 from monkeys and lambda from lambda viruses. The method may also be used to delete genes, often known as "knocking out" genes, in addition to introducing new genes. It is possible to insert the new DNA in a random pattern, or it may be targeted to a particular region of the genome.
