Genetic manipulation, often referred to as genetic engineering or gene editing, involves the direct alteration of an organism's genome. This process allows scientists to modify, add, or remove specific genes to achieve desired traits or functions. Techniques such as CRISPR-Cas9, zinc finger nucleases, and transcription activator-like effector nucleases (TALENs) have revolutionized the field by enabling precise and efficient genetic edits.
The primary goal of genetic manipulation can range from improving crop yields and disease resistance in plants
In medicine, gene therapy aims to correct genetic defects by introducing functional genes into cells. This
Critics of genetic manipulation raise concerns about unintended ecological consequences, potential health risks, and ethical dilemmas,
Despite ongoing debates, genetic manipulation continues to advance, with research expanding into areas like synthetic biology
