genetic engineering
genetic engineering (genetic manipulation) The manipulation of
DNA using
restriction enzymes which can split the DNA molecule and then rejoin it to form a hybrid molecule, i.e. a new combination of non-homologous DNA (so-called recombinant) DNA. The technique allows the bypassing of all the biological restraints to genetic exchange and mixing, and may even permit the combination of genes from widely differing species. Genetic engineering developed in the early 1970s, and is now one of the most fertile areas of genetics.
