| - Genetic engineering (also called genetic modification) is the direct manipulation of an organism's genome using biotechnology. New DNA may be inserted in the host genome by first isolating and copying the genetic material of interest using molecular cloning methods to generate a DNA sequence, or by synthesizing the DNA, and then inserting this construct into the host organism. Genes may be removed, or "knocked out", using a nuclease. Gene targeting is a different technique that uses homologous recombination to change an endogenous gene, and can be used to delete a gene, remove exons, add a gene, or introduce point mutations.
- Genetic engineering was first used by Ranulph Williams millions of years ago, but utilising an extremely slow and inefficient process known as evolution. Due to lack of competition, the technology progressed little until human scientists began to experiment with the idea in the last few decades. It has since gone from strength to strength, proving that in addition to his nasty temper and blatant favouritism, God is also severely lacking in innovation and business sense.
- Genetic engineering, also called genetic modification, is the direct manipulation of an organism's genome using biotechnology. Dr. Janet Fraiser suspected that Charlie (Show and Tell) was the result of genetic engineering. (SG1: "Show and Tell")
- Genetic engineering was the process of modifying an organism by changing their DNA. It was closely related to the concept of mutation.
- Genetic Engineering or Genetic Modification, is the direct human manipulation of an organism's genome using modern DNA technology. It involves the introduction of foreign DNA or synthetic genes into the organism of interest. From an Ethical point of view Genetic Manipulation is the act of playing God in designing and crafting New species of lifeforms.
- Genetic engineering, also referred to as gengineering, was the specific manipulation of a living being's genetic material.
- Genetic engineering is the practice of manipulating the DNA of a living organism, usually through the use of cloning.
- Genetic engineering (also known as gengineering) is the process of editing a creature at the genetic level, i.e. by modifying the creature's genes. Users skilled in this area are known as gengineers or .
- Genetic engineering, recombinant DNA technology, genetic modification/manipulation (GM), and gene splicing are terms that apply to the direct manipulation of an organism's genes. Genetic engineering is different from selective breeding, where the organism's genes are manipulated indirectly. Genetic engineering uses the techniques of molecular cloning and transformation to alter the structure and characteristics of genes directly. Genetic engineering techniques are now commonplace in medicine and agriculture, and are used from everything to treating diseases, improving crop yields, and improving the quality of produce to be more healthy.
- Genetic Engineering is also known as Genetech or Gengineering, and deals with the manipulation and research into the very thread of life, DNA. Genetic Engineering has always been a hot research field since its conception in the late 1960s, and the technology of the Sixth World has made what was once theoretical and scientific work into several real-world applications. Nanotechnology, Retroviral vectors, and Recombinant DNA, along with limited cloning, have produced many advances such as cloned organs, hardier plant and animal breeds, and the cure for many diseases. With progress comes many ethical questions, of which Genetics tends to ride the razor's edge.
- During Earth's 20th century, efforts to produce "superhumans" resulted in the Eugenics Wars. Genetically engineered individuals such as Khan Noonien Singh attempted to seize power. (TOS: "Space Seed" ) A line from ENT: "Affliction" established the date of the technology being banned as "decades" before 2154.
- The science of gene-splicing was a source of great tension between humanist and corporate factions over the course of the 21st and 22nd centuries intensified as it became more commonplace. With the formation of the United Powers League however, it was decreed that gene-splicing led to the degeneration of humanity. As such, those who had undergone genetic alteration were either executed under the edicts of Project Purification or among those sent to the Koprulu Sector.
- Genetic engineering, also called gengineering for short, the science of modifying the genetic code, was highly advanced in the Vorkosigan Saga. The engineering of humans was particularly sped up by the invention of the uterine replicator, approximately 200 years before the birth of Miles Vorkosigan. Examples of genetically-engineered plants and animals, including humans, included the creations of:
- Genetic engineering is the artificial alteration of a biological entity's DNA. Genetic engineering is considered a controversial subject by several races. Notably among Humans, due to genetic engineering bringing about one of humanity's greatest tyrants, Khan Noonien Singh and spurring the Eugenics Wars. As such the practice was outlawed in the Federation at least well into the 24th century. (TOS: "Space Seed"; DS9: "Doctor Bashir, I Presume") Genetic engineering leading to the four gender arrangement, however, saved the Andorian race from extinction, so most Andorians are baffled that humans are so averse to the idea. (Star Trek: Lambda Paz Background Essays, Worlds of Deep Space Nine Expanded Universe)
- As of 2007, human artificial chromosomes have already been created and patented, and companies have sprung up to recent the technology. In Japan, scientists are taking an artificial chromosome containing the gene to correct a serious disease and are simply putting it in a stem cell and transplanting into the body. [1]
- Genetic engineering, also called genetic modification, is the direct human manipulation of an organism's genome using modern DNA technology. It involves the introduction of foreign DNA or synthetic genes into the organism of interest. The introduction of new DNA does not require the use of classical genetic methods, however traditional breeding methods are typically used for the propagation of recombinant organisms.
