2Introduction
www.entranzz.com
Genetic engineering, also called genetic
modification, is the direct manipulation of an
organism's genome using biotechnology. 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. Genes may be removed, or "knocked out",
using a nuclease.
