Genetic Engineering | Vibepedia

Genetic engineering is the direct manipulation of an organism's genes using technology, allowing for the creation of improved or novel organisms. This set of technologies enables the transfer of genes within and across species boundaries, producing genetically modified organisms. The field has evolved significantly since the creation of the first recombinant DNA molecule by [[paul-berg|Paul Berg]] in 1972. Today, genetic engineering has numerous applications in fields such as medicine, agriculture, and biotechnology, with companies like [[biogen|Biogen]] and [[genentech|Genentech]] at the forefront.
