What is genetic engineering?

Definition: Genetic Engineering is the process of altering DNA in an organism's Genome. This may involve a single substitution of the simplest unit making up genes that holds genetic information, or the insertion of a piece of DNA from another organism.

History : Genetic engineer became possible only after the discovery of restriction enzymes. This science emerged around 1973 by the research of  Cohen and Boyer. In 1986 the U.S department of Agriculture approved the sale of the first living genetically altered organism.

Current Research : Universities and research agencies all over the world are investing greatly in this field. This science gives hope to find treatment to our most complicated diseases. The current research may provide a chance to alter our future and make our own luck in terms of surviving.
