In this new
post I want to talk about the genetic
engineering, a science that we use since several years selecting individuals of
one species with characteristics that satisfy our needs or likes, for example
some plant species like the fruit of the banana, that formerly was a fruit with
seeds that would have a different texture if it still had them, another example
are the varied dog races that we have created in the same way as the plants. After
that we have done big step in this science, it has been found the existence of
DNA, a molecule that keep the genetic instructions used in the growth,
development, functioning and reproduction of all know living organisms and many
viruses. Also it has been possible to sequence all the genetic information which
makes up a living being. And a recent discovery it´s the CRISPR method, that
it´s being investigated to make specific changes in a genetic sequence.
