Features: This book contains three parts of content: Part I (Chapters) introduces the origin, development, and theoretical and technical background upon which genetic engineering is based; Part II (Chapters 2, 3, and 4) provides a detailed introduction to some of the basic principles and main techniques of genetic engineering, including the extraction of nucleic acids, electrophoresis techniques, the tools and cloning vectors required for gene cloning, methods and identification techniques for isolating target genes, methods for introducing exogenous genes into animals and plants, and gene expression regulation. Part III (Chapter 5) introduces the applications of genetic engineering in medicine, agriculture, industry, and environmental protection. This book emphasizes scientific rigor and accessibility, as well as the advancement and systematic nature of knowledge, and is richly illustrated. It can not only serve as a reference for genetic engineering researchers and students and faculty of relevant disciplines in colleges and universities but also enable a broad audience to gain a comprehensive and foundational understanding of genetic engineering.
