What is Genome Editing/Genome Engineering?
Genome engineering, or genome engineering, is a type of genetic engineering that involves inserting, cutting, modification, or replacement of the genome of a living organism. In contrast to early genetic engineering techniques, where genetic material is randomly inserted into the host genome, genome editing is intended for insertion into site-specific locations. Genome editing technologies enable DNA changes, leading to changes in physical traits, similar disease risk, and eye color. These technologies act like cutting the DNA, scissors at an exact spot. Then scientists can add, remove, or replace the DNA. That is due to the increase in companies and organizations’ expenses in research and development are driving the highest growth in the genome engineering market.
