Genetic Engineering Tools and Applications

Description

Genetic engineering changes an organism’s DNA on purpose. It is used to build research tools, create model organisms, and support agricultural applications. Scientists also study it for future uses such as stress tolerance in crops and gene therapy for human disease.

The field grew as researchers...

Transcript

Genetic engineering is the purposeful alteration of an organism’s DNA. Advances in this field have allowed scientists to generate genetically modified cells and organisms for biomedical research and agricultural purposes. However, the application of genetic technologies for use as therapeutics in humans, known as gene therapy,...
