PPT-3.5 Genetic modification and biotechnology

Essential idea Biologists have developed techniques for artificial manipulation of DNA cells and organisms There are a number of key techniques involved in the analysis of DNA and gene transfer The image above shows nuclear transfer the key step in cloning by somatic cell nuclear transfer Dolly the sheep was the first success clone using this technique of direct cell manipulation SCNT remains a key part of genetic engineering as it allows patient specific embryonic stem cells to be created a key step in the application of gene therapies in a patient.
