INTRODUCTION TO GENETICALLY ENGINEERED BACTERIA-PRODUCED INSULIN
Genetically engineered bacteria-produced insulin, also known as recombinant DNA insulin, is a type of insulin that is produced through the use of genetically modified bacteria. This process revolutionized the production of insulin and has become the primary method for manufacturing…
ADVANTAGES OF USING GENETICALLY ENGINEERED BACTERIA-PRODUCED INSULIN
Insulin is a crucial hormone for managing blood sugar levels in individuals with diabetes. Traditionally, insulin was sourced from the pancreases of pigs and cows. However, the development of genetically engineered bacteria to produce insulin has revolutionized the production of…
HOW THE PLASMID CAN BE USED TO GENETICALLY MODIFY A BACTERIAL CELL TO CONTAIN A HUMAN GENE
Introduction to Plasmids Plasmids are small, circular DNA molecules that are separate from the chromosomal DNA and are found in bacteria and other organisms. They play a crucial role in genetic engineering as they can be used as vectors to…
