DNA technology is the sequencing, analysis, and cutting-and-pasting of DNA.

Common forms of DNA technology include DNA sequencing, polymerase chain reaction, DNA cloning, and gel electrophoresis.

DNA technology has many applications in medicine, forensics, and agriculture.

Recombinant DNA creates insulin and growth hormones, improves vaccine safety, and helps solve crimes through genome analysis.
