High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! There are various techniques used to genetically engineer organisms. The first step involves choosing and isolating the gene that will be inserted into the genetically modified organism. Most genes transferred into plants provide protection against insects or tolerance to herbicides. In animals the majority of genes used are growth hormone genes. The gene can be isolated using restriction enzymes to cut DNA into fragments and gel electrophoresis to separate them out according to length. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) can also be used to amplify up a gene segment, which can then be isolated through gel electrophoresis. The gene to be inserted into the genetically modified organism must be combined with other genetic elements in order for it to work properly. As well as the gene to be inserted most constructs contain a promoter and terminator region as well as a selectable marker gene. The promoter region initiates transcription of the gene...
