Recombinant DNA Technology History, Inventors, Features, Applications

 

 

The first Recombinant DNA was formed by the addition of antibiotic resistive encryption genes in the spinal plasmid of Salmonella typhimurium.

Stanley Cohen and Robert Boyer did this work by deducting the DNA fragment from the plasmid in 1972. Arthur Kornberg first created DNA in In Vitro.

Genetic engineering is a process by which scientists educate the organism of an organism. Recombinant DNA technology is used in it. In this technique, genetic material is converted into the chemicals of DNA and RNA and it is entered into the host organism. 

In this process, a foreign fragment of the DNA structure is inserted into the genome, which includes our genes as per the interest. The gene that is entered is called a recombinant gene, and this technique is called recombinant DNA technology.

Using genetic engineering in the production of crops, resistant crops can be obtained for diseases and pests. In this way, increase in crop production can be achieved by generating optimization towards a harsh climate.

Bt Cotton can be constructed using this technique so that the plants can be protected from insects or ball worms.

Various types of advanced varieties and desirable properties can be obtained by using genetic engineering in animal husbandry and many diseases can be removed.

Insulin can be produced by DNA Reconnaissance Technology using this technique in medicines.
