does genetic engineering rule the world
Hello,
Thanks for connecting to Careers360
Genetic Engineering is basically involving the group of techniques that cuts up and joins together genetical material, especially DNA from a different biological species and introducing the resulting hybrid DNA into an organism in order to form new combinations of heritable materials.
To become an genetic engineer, one should hold bachelor's degree in science. With specialisation in biophysics or biochemistry or molecular biology or genetics, one can do masters or M.tech or MSc in anyone of the subjects mentioned above.
Genetic Engineering mainly focuses on biochemistry, cell biology, molecular biology,evolutionary biology and medical biology
The techniques of genetic engineering is used in
* Research Agriculture
* Industrial Biotechnology
* Medicine
Scope of Genetic Engineering are:
* Graduates can work both in private and public sectors
* With the growth of Biotech firms in India as well as in foreign countries, Genetic Engineering graduates are required for both government and private organizations.
* Therefore the scope in Genetic Engineering in future is great.
* Graduates can opt teaching as their career too, as many colleges are introducing course of Genetic Engineering .
Best colleges for Genetic Engineering are as follows :
1. Indian Institute of Technology, Karagpur
2. Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bangalore
3. Indian Institute of Technology Madras
4. Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi
5. All India Institute of Medical science, New Delhi
Hope this helps! Have a nice day!
But everything has two sides of coin, so it also goes for genetic engineering. Cross contamination, increased weed, increased population of some species amd many more.
So you can look at it in both ways . I personally feel that it has brought some great changes in the life of human and will continue to do so. But the negative impact can't be neglected.
