Transgenic Technology

Transgenic technology involves modifying an organism’s DNA by adding genes from another species. This process creates a transgenic organism with new traits, such as pest resistance in crops or disease resistance in animals. Scientists use specialized tools, like gene splicing and insertion techniques, to introduce desired genes into the organism’s genome. This technology helps improve agriculture, develop medicines, and study genetics. It is a precise method that harnesses our understanding of DNA to enhance or alter biological functions responsibly and ethically, addressing various health and environmental challenges.
