What is gene therapy?
Gene therapy is a pill with DNA in it.
How could a mutation be corrected in the future?
In the future, we can offer medication where we can give people genes that have the corrected version.

A genome is all of the genetic information, all of the hereditary material possessed by an organism.
How much would one’s individual genome cost?
3 billion dollars 1000/person
In the near future, what would you use your genome for?
To make decisions about what drugs and nutrients and what surgeries you would like to take when and what diagnostic you take.
What is the Personal Genome Project trying to accomplish?
Trying to figure out to what extent genes combined with environment impact almost every aspect of your body and recruit human subjects.

Genetic engineering is the direct manipulation of an organism's genome using biotechnology.
How can new DNA be inserted into the host genome?
By first isolation and copying the genetic material of interest using molecular cloning method to generate a DNA sequence, or by synthesizing the DNA, and then inserting this construct into the host organisms.
What is an organism that has been generated through genetic engineering called?
It’s considered to be a genetically modified organism (GMO)
