Description : 

B. Tech in Genetic Engineering is a four-year undergraduate program involving the study of deliberate modification of an organism’s basic characteristics by manipulating its genetic material. This is an advanced branch of science that applies a wide range of scientific techniques to bring out desired changes in the genetic structure or DNA code of living organisms. 

Genetic engineering (also called genetic modification) is a process that uses laboratory-based technologies to alter the DNA makeup of an organism. This may involve changing a single base pair (A-T or C-G), deleting a region of DNA or adding a new segment of DNA. For example, genetic engineering may involve adding a gene from one species to an organism from a different species to produce a desired trait. Used in research and industry, genetic engineering has been applied to the production of cancer therapies, brewing yeasts, genetically modified plants and livestock, and more.

Genetic engineering has changed over the years, from cloning for analysis and laboratory use to truly synthetic biology for understanding and new biomedical capabilities.
