What is the process of genetic engineering?

Transcript

The process of genetic engineering involves the direct manipulation of an organism's DNA to alter its characteristics. This typically includes several steps: isolating a specific gene, modifying it if necessary, inserting it into a suitable vector such as plasmids, and then introducing this construct into the target organism via various transformation techniques. The modified organism, often referred to as genetically modified (GM), can exhibit new traits or produce desired proteins, such as in the case of bacteria engineered to produce insulin or crops enhanced for better yield and resistance to diseases.
