Introduction
Gene cloning and genetic engineering are revolutionary techniques that have transformed biology and medicine. They allow scientists to manipulate DNA, genes, and organisms at a molecular level, leading to advancements in medical treatments, agriculture, biotechnology, and more.
History
The history of gene cloning and genetic engineering dates back to the discovery of DNA s structure and the genetic code. The advent of restriction enzymes and DNA ligases enabled the manipulation of DNA fragments. The development of recombinant DNA technology marked a turning point, allowing the insertion of foreign DNA into host organisms.
Noteworthy Personnel
Several influential individuals have significantly contributed to the field of gene cloning and genetic engineering. Dr. Paul Berg s work on recombinant DNA technology paved the way for gene manipulation. Dr. Jennifer Doudna s discovery of CRISPR-Cas9 has revolutionized gene editing techniques.
Evolution till Date
Gene cloning and genetic engineering have evolved from basic manipulation of DNA fragments to precise gene editing using advanced techniques like CRISPR-Cas9. Advances in DNA sequencing, bioinformatics, and synthetic biology have expanded the scope and applications of these techniques.
