transgenic techniques

Transgenic techniques involve modifying an organism's DNA by inserting, removing, or altering specific genes to give it new traits. This process typically uses tools like recombinant DNA technology, where scientists cut DNA with special enzymes, insert desired genes from other organisms, and then introduce this modified DNA into the host organism’s cells. The organism’s cells then use this new genetic information to produce the new trait. These techniques are widely used in medicine, agriculture, and research to produce genetically modified plants, animals, or microbes with improved qualities or functionalities.
