Introduction to Genetic Engineering

Genetic engineering is the process of deliberately modifying an organism's genetic material through biotechnology, enabling the alteration of DNA for desired traits. This field has a rich history marked by significant milestones that have revolutionized medicine, agriculture, and industrial applications. Despite its benefits, ethical concerns regarding gene modifications and the safety of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) remain prominent.
