Features: This book is divided into 8 chapters. Chapter 1 introduces genetic engineering and its development, aiming to give readers a comprehensive understanding of this discipline. Chapter 2 discusses the vectors and tools of genetic engineering. Chapter 3 focuses on discussing the methods and principles of DNA recombination technology. Chapters 4-6 introduce the application research of gene expression in different organisms, covering both successful case studies to help students master how to design and complete a comprehensive genetic engineering project, as well as emphasizing potential or encountered difficulties and challenges, and how to overcome them. Chapter 7 discusses gene therapy, an important means in medical development, which should be understood and mastered. Chapter 3 also introduces the "second-generation genetic engineering" – the principles of protein engineering. While explaining methods and techniques, the book provides a detailed introduction to the basic theories of genetic engineering and cites many new research findings, striving for content that is both novel and easy to understand. This book is suitable as a textbook for undergraduate and graduate students in biology, agriculture, forestry, medicine, and pharmaceutical fields, and can also serve as a reference for researchers in these fields.
