Basic Steps in Genetic Engineering

Genetic engineering involves manipulating an organism's DNA through selection of a desired gene, isolation of that gene from donor cells, insertion into a vector for transfer into recipient cells, and implementation of screening and culturing processes to develop cells with the targeted trait.

GENETIC ENGINEERING
Did you know: Did you know:
Genetic engineering involves the use of Genetic engineering is the one who
advance techniques to add, delete or alter manipulates the genetic material of an
specific genes in an organism's DNA organism to modify existing ones.

SELECTION
This involves the selection
of the desired trait and
gene of interest.

ISOLATION
This involves the isolation
of the gene of interest from
source or donor cells.

INSERTION
The gene of interest will be
inserted into a vector,
usually plasmid.

TRANSFERRING
The recombinant plasmid
will be transferred into
recipient cells.

IMPLEMENTATION
This is done by implementing
screening processes to identify
the cells that have successfully
taken in the recombinant
ACCULTURATION plasmid.

This is done by isolating and


culturing the transgenic cells to
propagate generations of cells
that carry the desired trait.
