: Traditional selective breeding is not considered genetic engineering. Core Technologies and Methods

: Herbert Boyer and Stanley Cohen achieved the first artificial modification in 1973.

: Includes gene targeting, nuclear transplantation, and viral insertion .

: Using genes from the same or closely related species.

: The most widely applied method for targeting specific sequences .

: Used to insert therapeutic genes into host genomes. Major Applications

: Tools that create double-strand breaks to allow DNA editing.
