Genetic engineering in spite of being an exceedingly advanced technique fails to acquire universal acceptance throughout the globe. Numerous ethical concerns surface concerning the utilization of experimental animals. The modifications set up in the genes of living things are the principal concern of many people. Even though, an extensive assortment of new products has been […]
Introduction Science is a creature that continues to evolve at a much higher rate than the beings that gave it birth. The transformation time from tree-shrew, to ape, to human far exceeds the time from an analytical engine, to a calculator, to a computer. However, science, in the past, has always remained distant. It has […]
Genetic engineering as a field of scientific knowledge is important for various reasons. It has enabled the society to address various challenges effectively. In medicine for instance, it has promoted curing of diseases such as cancer. In economic production, it continues to help the society to address problems related to food shortage. However, it has […]
Genetic modification of animals is the act of altering or changing its DNA or even adding genetic material in a manner that is not in line with natural occurrence. The main purpose is to do away with some undesirable, or to introduce some desirable trait in the genetic make-up of the animal. For example, it […]
GMOs are entities who’s set of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) has been altered by use of genetic engineering. The use of Genetically Modified products in the world today, has prompted a lot of debate globally. Their particular genetic composition has been altered in order to increase quality, productivity and resilience to drought and crop diseases. Although, […]
The initiation of a predetermined series adjustment to a cellular genome’s chromosomal DNA is known as Genome editing or genome editing with engineered nucleases (GEEN). The directives for nearly the entire roles of living systems are programmed within the genome. subsequently, the capacity to simply and accurately add, eliminate, or swap DNA sequences inside a […]
