Genetic Engineering: Emerging Concepts and Technologies Patrick Faraday

Genetic engineering is the modification of an organism’s genome by using biotechnology. It is used to modify genes and to change their genetic trait. There are a number of techniques that are used in genetic engineering, such as gene isolation, gene targeting and regeneration. These techniques are applied in a number of fields including industrial biotechnology and medicine. As this field is emerging at a rapid pace, the contents of this book will help the readers understand the modern concepts and applications of the subject. In this book, using case studies and examples; constant effort has been made to make the understanding of the difficult concepts of genetic engineering as easy and informative as possible, for the readers.
