New horizons for GENETICS ENGINEER

Intensive research in this new frontier science has created advanced awareness of cures for inherited and durable diseases. Unsurprisingly there's growing demand for genetics professionals

- 

AImost three decades ago, Dolly, the world's most famous sheep was cloned successfully - a breakthrough which brought the science of genetics to the forefront of global consciousness. Since then, universities and research institutes around the world are actively engaged in the study of genetics and related sciences in the hope of finding technological breakthroughs for humanity's new scourges such as AIDS and cancer. Intensive research in this new frontier science has created advanced awareness and effective treatments for inherited and durable diseases. As a result, there is growing demand for genetics engineers worldwide.

Genetics or genetics engineering as it is popularly known, explores the use of a wide range of technologies and techniques to modify and/or change genetic material in the DNA (or mRNA) codes of living organisms.

Genes or genetic material from the DNA of one species is taken and mixed with those of another. Genetics engineers also study how traits and characteristics are transmitted through generations, and the causes and effects of genetic disorders. By deciphering genetic codes they attempt to discover cures for these disorders.
