|
Humans have been doing genetic engineering, a technology which is transforming our world, for
thousands of years on a wide range of plants, animals and micro organism and have applications in the field
of medicine, research, industry and agriculture. The rapid developments in the field of genetic engineering have
given a new impetus to biotechnology. This introduces the possibility of tailoring organisms in order to
optimize the production of established or novel metabolites of commercial importance and of transferring
genetic material from one organism to another. In order to achieve potential benefits of genetic engineering the
only need is to develop perfect tools and techniques. Once it has been perfected then all of the problems
associated with food production can be solved, the world environment can be restored, and human health and
lifestyle will improve beyond imagination. No doubt that there are almost no limits to what can be achieved
through responsible genetic engineering. Classical field of genetic engineering and some of its advancements
are discussed in this review.
Key words: DNA, genetic engineering, gene therapy, , , ,
