Genetic Engineering encompasses methods of modifying the genetic material of an organism. Usually this is done with a goal of being inherited in a stable fashion through the germ-line to future generations.
History
A landmark genetic engineering experiment was the 1973 Cohen-Boyer-Berg experiment.
Topics
Bioreactors Genetically Modified Crops Genetic Pest Management
Common Practice
There are various methods to stably introduce DNA into cells.
Often a dominant marker is used to facilitate screening for transformed individuals. Fluorescent proteins such as GFP and RFP have proven successful in a wide variety of organisms.
