The Future of Genetic Engineering in Human and Medicine as Per Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacogenetics

Introduction

Genetic engineering is the transportation of genes from one organism to another. It is a technique for modification of genes, as a result of which, any offspring will have the same change. A genetically modified organism is often called 'GMO'. Genetic engineering is a more advanced way to breed on, and as compared to the traditional breeding, we can acquire just the required genes and deselect all the unwanted genes. By genetic engineering, one is able to select specific properties and accumulate them into another animal or plant. In theory, it is possible to modify genetically a plant or an animal, but it is difficult for the smaller of the two things that are similar, the less likely it is that they will take the new genes to themselves. In addition to the technical difficulty, it also involves ethical issues. When you carry out the genetic engineering, alterations are made to the genes so that the properties of the genes also change. Now, if you want to have more vitamins in the food, or that the food can remain longer than normal, you have to put a gene into the food, which causes the food to get those properties. This means that genes can be put into a foreign gene normally into one of the food genes. You can move genes from humans, animals, plants, algae and bacteria. Genetic engineering has entirely revolutionized the fields of biology, medicine, pharmacology, research, gynecology, human health, food, and agriculture. Genetic engineering has helped scientists and doctors to find the cure for several diseases. It has resulted in a tremendous increase in the agriculture production. New genres of fruits, vegetables, and plants have come into being as a result of genetic engineering. In this research paper, it is intended to discuss the future of genetic engineering in humans and medicines as per pharmacokinetics and pharmacogenetics and their roles.

Research Methodology

The research methodology used for preparing this research paper is the secondary research, and the research approach is the qualitative research method. The main sources of the secondary research are the articles, journals, research papers and books, which are available online on the Internet.

Discussion

The genetic engineering offers the study and handling of bi-molecules, obtained from synthetic organic materials. DNA is the first recombinant product formed, and then the genetically modified organisms (GMOs) can be produced. The term thus includes the genetic variation and recomposition of DNA sequences in a test tube or in living organisms as well as the deliberate introduction of DNA in living organisms. Genetic engineering is used to produce a new DNA, which is actually an amalgamation of the DNAs of two or more already existing species. This is possible because all living things have the same genetic code to use, only slightly deviated from each other in a few exceptional cases. Target genetic applications include the change ...
