Chapter 20 DNA Technology and Genomics Overview: Understanding and Manipulating Genomes One of the great achievements of modern science has been the sequencing of the human genome, which was largely completed by 2003. Progress began with the development of techniques for making recombinant DNA, in which genes from two different sources?and often different species?are combined in vitro into the same molecule. The methods for making recombinant DNA are central to genetic engineering, the direct manipulation of genes for practical purposes. Applications include the introduction of a desired gene into the DNA of a host that will produce the desired protein.
