DNA technology.
With the availability of DNA recombinant technology and DNA and RNA sequencing techniques, diseases can now be studied and treated at a molecular level, while unlimited quantities of a pure protein product can be produced through gene cloning. Before the end of this century, gene therapy will be used to repair genetic defects. This article explains these advances in genetic technology and suggests their relevance in clinical problems and practice.
