Genetic Engineering: An Overview
Kim Chawla, Dr Hanuman Jaipal
Abstract :
Genetic engineering is also known as genetic modification. Genetic engineering is the deliberate, controlled manipulation of the genes in an organism with the intent of making that organism better in some way. It is a set of technologies used to change the genetic makeup of cells, including the transfer of genes within and across species boundaries to produce improved or novel organisms. New DNA may be inserted in the host genome by first isolating and copying the genetic material of interest using molecular cloning methods to generate a DNA sequence, or by synthesizing the DNA, and then inserting this construct into the host organism. This is usually done independently of the natural reproductive process. The result is a so–called genetically modified organism (GMO). Genetic engineering techniques have been applied in numerous fields including research, agriculture, industrial biotechnology, and medicine.
