Summary Introduction

To review:

The risk associated with doing gene splicing experiment by an amateur in middle and high school biology courses.

Introduction:

RDT (Recombinant DNA technology) is the manipulation of DNA by cutting, joining, and ligation process. It follows to create a combination of DNA sequences from different sources. By analyzing, sequencing, and manipulation of the gene at the genetic level, promotes the success of creating recombinant clones. Moreover, the use of RDT proves as an effective measure to treat different genetic disorders, identification of novel genes, vaccine formation, and crop improvement by genetically modified organisms (GMOs).
