Examples of genetic engineering

Answer 1

Medical applications

• Diagnosis of hereditary disorders, such as Huntington's disease and certain forms of Breast cancer
• Research into the causes of other disorders. Investigation of new drug targets
• Prevention through new vaccines or conduct based on genetic tests
• New forms of treatment using new drugs or gene therapy
• Positive identification of individuals, paternity tests or forensic science

Nutritional and agricultural applications

• Improving desired properties (improving storage or shelf-life) and modifying composition to better nutritional value or for technical applications (oil, starch)
• Resistance to disease and insects in order to improve cost efficiency and reduce the use of agricultural chemicals
• Adaptation to locations with marginal soil conditions in order to stabilize production, particularly in developing countries

Industrial applications

• Resource-saving production of chemicals
• Production of drugs and food additives using genetically modified organisms
• Degradable plastics, detergents, enzymes, etc.
• Use of specific microbes for soil and wastewater treatment (grey genetic engineering)

Answer 2

An example of genetic engineering would be the highly criticized GMO seeds that are being used to grow produce around the country. There seeds have been artificially manufactured and then produced to feed humans and farm animals.
