Gene Revolution

The Gene Revolution refers to the significant advances in genetic science, particularly genetic engineering and biotechnology, that have transformed agriculture and medicine. It involves altering the DNA of organisms, including plants and animals, to enhance desirable traits such as disease resistance, higher yields, and nutritional value. This revolution has led to the development of genetically modified organisms (GMOs), which are widely used to improve food production. It also includes breakthroughs in gene therapy, aiming to treat genetic disorders in humans. While promising many benefits, it also raises ethical, ecological, and health concerns that continue to be debated.
