Biotechnology Outreach Home SEE Biotech |  |
Genetic engineering (gene splicing) and techniques such as DNA mapping can be used to develop improved livestock and crops for greater yield and better quality, as well as new crop varieties with reduced impact on the environment. Examples include faster genetic analysis of cattle, disease-resistant vegetables and producing cheese-making enzymes from bacteria instead of from the stomach of calves. | |
