1 Biotechnology of GMOs: Genetically Modified Organisms
How can we use our understanding of DNA, genomes, and gene expression to help solve issues in the world? To what extent SHOULD we apply this knowledge into action?

2 Universality of the Genetic Code

3 Same Gene, Different Organism

4 Are GMOs “good” or “bad”?

5 Restriction Enzymes Make Genetic Engineering Possible – discovered late 1960s
Nature Link:

6 Direct Transfer/Uptake of DNA:

7 Use of Agrobacterium species in many plants/foods

8 Viruses used for gene therapy

9 Bacterial Transformation: Using bacteria to express non-bacterial genes

10 Extra Links: Do Humans and Bacteria Share Common Genetic Material: Wings on a Human? Is it possible to create a designer baby?
