Is the term used for an organism created through genetic engineering
GENETICALLY MODIFIED ORGANISM (GMO)
Also called genetic modification or direct manipulation of an organism’s genome using biotechnology.
GENETIC ENGINEERING
First successful gene transfer in ________?
BACTERIA
First GMO food approved?
FLAVR SAVR TOMATO
A bacteria have been modified to produce plastic (polyethylene) an fuel (butanol) as by-products of photosynthesis
CYANOBACTERIA
A bacteria have been modified to produce diesel fuel.
E. COLI BACTERIA
Transfer of a section of DNA to any cell of the body that doesn’t produce sperm or eggs
SOMATIC
Transfer of a section of DNA to cells that produce eggs or sperm. Effects of gene therapy will be passed onto the patient’s children and subsequent generations.
GERMLINE
The use of recombinant DNA vectors to alter the expression of a particular gene, either by introducing mutations in a gene, or by eliminating the expression of a certain gene by deleting a part or all of the gene sequence from the genome of an organism.
GENE TARGETING
Gene therapy techniques
- GENE AUGMENTATION THERAPY
- GENE INHIBITION THERAPY
This is used to treat diseases caused by a mutation that stops a gene from producing a functioning product, such as a protein. Gene inhibition therapy- * Suitable for the treatment of infectious diseases, cancer and inherited disease caused by
GENE AUGMENTATION THERAPY
Suitable for the treatment of
infectious diseases, cancer and inherited disease caused by
inappropriate gene activity.
GENE INHIBITION THERAPY
The procedure that involves transplantation,
implantation or infusion into human recipient either a) live
cell.tissue or organs from a non-human animal source b) human
body fluids
XENOTRANSPLANTATION
A process of taking genetic material or information
from one organism to create identical copy
CLONING
GENE THERAPY methods
- GENE GUN (BIOLISTICS)
- AGROBACTERIUM TUMEFACIENS
- CRISPR-CAS9
Tiny DNA-coated particles are shot into plant cells.
GENE GUN (BIOLISTICS)
A natural bacterium that inserts genes into plant DNA.
AGROBACTERIUM TUMEFACIENS
A precise, modern tool that edits specific DNA sequences. (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short
Palindromic Repeats)
CRISPR-CAS9
Milk-producing transgenic animals are especially useful for production of medicines, nutritional supplements and pharmaceuticals.
