About this ebook
What Is Genetic Engineering
The alteration and manipulation of the genes in an organism via the use of technology is referred to as genetic engineering and is also known as genetic modification or genetic manipulation. It is a collection of techniques that may alter the genetic make-up of cells, including the transfer of genes both inside and across species, with the goal of producing creatures that are superior to or unique from those that already exist. Either by isolating and copying the genetic material of interest using recombinant DNA techniques or by chemically synthesising the DNA, new DNA may be created. Recombinant DNA methods can be found here. In most cases, a construct is built and then used for the purpose of inserting this DNA into the host organism. Paul Berg created the first recombinant DNA molecule in 1972 by mixing the DNA of two different viruses, namely SV40 from monkeys and lambda from lambda viruses. The method may also be used to delete genes, often known as "knocking out" genes, in addition to introducing new genes. It is possible to insert the new DNA in a random pattern, or it may be targeted to a particular region of the genome.

Preface
Why did I write this book?
The story of writing this book started on 1989, when I was a student in the Secondary School of Advanced Students.
It is remarkably like the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) Schools, which are now available in many advanced countries.
STEM is a curriculum based on the idea of educating students in four specific disciplines — science, technology, engineering, and mathematics — in an interdisciplinary and applied approach. This term is typically used to address an education policy or a curriculum choice in schools. It has implications for workforce development, national security concerns and immigration policy.
There was a weekly class in the library, where each student is free to choose any book and read for 1 hour. The objective of the class is to encourage the students to read subjects other than the educational curriculum.
In the library, while I was looking at the books on the shelves, I noticed huge books, total of 5,000 pages in 5 parts. The books name is The Encyclopedia of Technology
, which describes everything around us, from absolute zero to semiconductors, almost every technology, at that time, was explained with colorful illustrations and simple words. I started to read the encyclopedia, and of course, I was not able to finish it in the 1-hour weekly class.
So, I convinced my father to buy the encyclopedia. My father bought all the technology tools for me in the beginning of my life, the first computer and the first technology encyclopedia, and both have a great impact on myself and my career.
I have finished the entire encyclopedia in the same
