For thousands of years, humankind has known the specific characteristics of various species. Over the centuries, we have learned that plants can be modified and animals can be bettered through selective breeding. Genetic engineering was common practice in the field and stable long before it was born in the laboratories of scientists. In this program, explore manipulation and transference of genetic information from one organism to another, the present situation of genetic engineering, and hopes for genetic engineering in the future.
