Genetic engineering : evolution
2011
Davison, John | Bertheau, Yves,
This entry traces the early evolution of genetic engineering from its beginnings, in unrelated fields of basic science, to the present day. The results of this fundamental scientific research have led to the development of a multibillion-dollar biotechnology industry, producing innovative human and animal health care products and improved varieties of cultivated plants. The public debates, controversies, and ethical issues related to genetic engineering are also briefly discussed.
