what is genetic engineering and it's prospects

Hello Kunal

Genetic Engineering is a relatively new branch of engineering that has come up in the last decade or so. Genetic Engineering as the name suggests deals with building or modification of human genome or an organism’s genome to change its biological and chemical properties to meet desired results. In common terms, genetic engineering can be defined as a laboratory science that deals with change or modification of DNA ((Deoxy Ribo Nucleic Acid) of living organisms to advance services in healthcare, medicine and agricultural industries. The subject was initially considered part of biotechnology, but with recent developments and diversification, Genetic Engineering has emerged as its own distinct subject of study with sub-domains and streams to follow.

Scopes in genetic engineering

• Medical industries
• Pharmaceutical industries
• Research and development departments
• Agricultural sector
• Genetic engineering firms
• Chemical companies

Hello,

Genetic Engineering, or genetic modification, is the process of manipulating an organism’s genome using biotechnology. The process involves inserting a new DNA into the host genome. This is done by first isolating and copying the genetic material of interest using molecular cloning methods to generate a DNA sequence. Another way is to synthesize the DNA, and then insert it into the host organism.

BE or B.Tech in Genetic Engineering is a four-year program. Research, agriculture, industrial biotechnology, and medicine are some of the fields that use Genetic engineering techniques.

The best colleges to pursue Genetics Engineering in India are:

1. SRM Institute of Science and Technology, Chennai

2. Sharda University, Greater Noida

3. Bharat Institute of Higher Education and Research

Best Wishes.
