Here are some applications of genetic engineering:   Medicine Genetic engineering has been used to mass-produce many drugs, including insulin, human growth hormones, and vaccines. It can also be used for: Diagnosing genetic diseases Personalizing medical treatments Gene therapies Vaccine development Risk prediction Animals (Genetic engineering can involve altering an animal's genetic material to modify certain characteristics or introduce new traits. For example, it can be used to create disease resistance or enhanced growth.) Agriculture Genetic engineering can have many benefits... Show more
