Geeniperäiset
Geeniperäiset, also known as *genetic engineering* in English, refer to a set of technologies used to modify the genetic material of living organisms. This field combines biology and engineering principles to alter DNA sequences in organisms, enabling the introduction, deletion, or modification of genes. The primary goal is often to enhance desirable traits, such as disease resistance, improved crop yields, or the production of useful biological compounds.
The origins of genetic engineering trace back to the 1970s, when scientists developed techniques like recombinant
In agriculture, genetically modified organisms (GMOs) have been widely adopted to address challenges like food security
Beyond agriculture, genetic engineering has applications in medicine, where gene therapy aims to treat genetic disorders
Regulatory frameworks vary by country, with some nations imposing strict oversight on genetically modified products, while
