dna
molecular biology, the interactions and regulation of genetic materials, began with the identification in 1944 of dna as the main genetic material; the genetic code and the double helix structure of dna was determined by james watson and francis crick in 1953. dna sequencing, the identification of an exact sequence of genetic information in an organism, was developed in 1977 by frederick sanger. 









































genetic engineering, the modification of the genetic material of a live organism, became possible in 1972 when paul berg created the first recombinant dna molecules (artificially assembled genetic material) using viruses.
genetics in fiction
plants, animals or micro organisms that have been changed through genetic engineering are termed genetically modified organisms or gmos. if genetic material from another species is added to the host, the resulting organism is called transgenic. if genetic material from the same species or a species that can naturally breed with the host is used the resulting organism is called cisgenic. if genetic engineering is used to remove genetic material from the target organism the resulting organism is termed a knockout organism. in europe genetic modification is synonymous with genetic engineering while within the united states of america and canada genetic modification can also be used to refer to more conventional breeding methods.
