Genomics and biotechnology
Genetic
engineering
technologies have introduced
genetically
modified
organisms that provide new opportunities and risks.
Mammals can be
cloned
by
nuclear
transfer.
DNA
fingerprinting
makes use of several genetic technologies.
Short
tandem
repeats
provide genetic markers.
Gel
electrophoresis
separates DNA fragments.
DNA
fingerprints
can identify individuals based on their DNA.
