  2. Human genetic enhancement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_genetic_enhancement

    Genetic testing, genetic engineering, and stem cell research are often discussed together due to the interrelated moral arguments surrounding these topics. The distinction between repairing genes and enhancing genes is a central idea in many moral debates surrounding genetic enhancement because some argue that repairing genes is morally ...

  3. Human germline engineering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_germline_engineering

    Laboratory research use involves human germline engineering restricted to in vitro use, where edited cells will not be implanted to be born. 19 countries currently explicitly prohibit any use of human germline engineering for in vitro use, while 4 prohibit it with exceptions, and 11 permit it. [3]

  4. Genetic engineering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_engineering

    Genetic engineering, also called genetic modification or genetic manipulation, is the modification and manipulation of an organism's genes using technology. It is a set of technologies used to change the genetic makeup of cells, including the transfer of genes within and across species boundaries to produce improved or novel organisms .

    Owen’s condition, caused by a genetic fault, affects how the cells throughout his body use the hormone thyroxine, which plays a role in digestion, heart and muscle function, brain development ...

  6. History of genetic engineering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_genetic_engineering

    Genetic engineering has been used to produce proteins derived from humans and other sources in organisms that normally cannot synthesize these proteins. Human insulin-synthesising bacteria were developed in 1979 and were first used as a treatment in 1982. [58] In 1988 the first human antibodies were produced in plants. [59]

  7. Genetic engineering techniques - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_engineering_techniques

    Genetic engineering techniques allow the modification of animal and plant genomes. Techniques have been devised to insert, delete, and modify DNA at multiple levels, ranging from a specific base pair in a specific gene to entire genes. There are a number of steps that are followed before a genetically modified organism (GMO) is created.

  8. Genome editing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genome_editing

    Genome editing, or genome engineering, or gene editing, is a type of genetic engineering in which DNA is inserted, deleted, modified or replaced in the genome of a living organism. Unlike early genetic engineering techniques that randomly inserts genetic material into a host genome, genome editing targets the insertions to site-specific locations.

  9. Statistical genetics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statistical_genetics

    Statistical genetics is a scientific field concerned with the development and application of statistical methods for drawing inferences from genetic data. The term is most commonly used in the context of human genetics. Research in statistical genetics generally involves developing theory or methodology to support research in one of three ...
