Genetic Engineering A Boon To Mankind

The field of biotechnology defines genetic engineering as, “a set of technologies that are being used to change the genetic makeup of cells and move genes across species boundaries to produce novel organisms”.
Through genetic engineering organisms are given new combinations of genes, giving rise to new combinations of traits which do not generally occur in nature.
Genetic engineering endeavors have found success in improving crop technology, in the manufacture of human insulin through the use of modified bacteria and in the development of new types of experimental mice, etc.
The National Institute of Science is a leading publisher of books related to biotechnology and other branches of science.
