Genetic engineering, one of the most talked about fields of biological research. This field of research involves the alteration of an organisms genetic, or hereditary, material to eliminate undesirable characteristics or to produce desirable new ones. Genetic engineering is used to increase plant and animal food production, diagnose disease, develop and improve medical treatment with the production of vaccines and other useful drugs, and to help dispose of industrial wastes. Included in genetic engineering techniques are the selective breeding of plants and animals, hybridization (reproduction between different strains or species), and recombinant DNA.
As mentioned above, recombinant DNA, or gene splicing is one of the genetic engineering techniques used to eliminate undesirable characteristics or to produce desirable new ones. ... In this way the genetic make-up of the bacterium is altered.
