Gene transfer technologies

Gene transfer technologies involve methods to deliver genetic material into an organism's cells to modify or influence its genes. Techniques like recombinant DNA, viral vectors, or gene editing tools (such as CRISPR) are used to alter DNA, enabling treatments for genetic diseases, improving crop traits, or conducting research. These methods can add, remove, or change specific genes, offering precise ways to address biological questions or health issues. The goal is to harness these tools safely and effectively to benefit medicine, agriculture, and scientific understanding.
