Major

• Genetic Engineering- 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
• The Father of Genetic Engineering is a pioneering biochemist who invented recombinant DNA technology he is Paul Berg
• Herbert Boyer and Stanley Cohen developed genetic engineering by inserting DNA from one bacteria into another
• GMOs are used to study gene function and expression through loss of function, gain of function tracking and expression experiments
• Medicine

  • Genetic engineering is used in medicine to make drugs, create animals that mimic human conditions, and do gene therapy
• Research

  • Genetic engineering is crucial for scientists, especially in creating transgenic organisms to analyze gene function
• Industrial

  • Genes can be added to organisms to make them produce useful proteins, which can then be mass-produced in bioreactors and purified
• Agriculture

  • GM crops and livestock are created through genetic engineering to increase production, tolerance to stress, alter food composition or produce novel products
