Genetic engineering has revolutionized science, enabling the modification of an organism’s DNA to achieve desired traits. Recent breakthroughs in gene editing, such as CRISPR-Cas9, have made it easier and more efficient to edit genes with precision. This technology holds great potential for treating genetic disorders, developing personalized medicine, and improving crop yields in agriculture.
In medicine, genetic engineering is being used to develop gene therapies to treat inherited diseases, and in agriculture, it is helping create genetically modified crops that are resistant to pests and drought. As the science of genetic engineering continues to evolve, it promises to address some of humanity’s most pressing challenges, from disease prevention to food security.
