Book for Genetic engineering by Prof. Dr. Zeeshan Qaiser
Abstract
Genetic Engineering: Principles, Technologies, Genomics, Genome Editing and Translational ApplicationsThis book provides a comprehensive and contemporary overview of genetic engineering, covering its fundamental principles, molecular technologies, genomic applications, genome editing approaches, and emerging translational applications in biotechnology and biomedical sciences.The book introduces the molecular foundations of genetic engineering and explains key concepts related to DNA, genes, genomes, recombinant DNA technology, gene expression, vectors, cloning, sequencing, and molecular analysis. It further explores modern genomic technologies and their applications in understanding genetic variation, gene regulation, cellular function, and complex biological systems.Particular emphasis is placed on contemporary genome-editing technologies, including CRISPR-Cas systems and other advanced gene-editing approaches. The book discusses their principles, applications, opportunities, limitations, and potential contributions to biomedical research, disease modeling, therapeutic development, agriculture, industrial biotechnology, and personalized medicine.The book also examines translational applications of genetic engineering, including genetic disease research, cancer biology, gene therapy, cellular engineering, precision medicine, pharmaceutical biotechnology, vaccine development, and the development of innovative diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.By integrating foundational concepts with modern technologies and emerging applications, this book is designed to provide students, researchers, educators, healthcare professionals, and biotechnology practitioners with a broad understanding of the rapidly evolving field of genetic engineering.Overall, the book highlights how advances in genetic engineering, genomics, and genome editing are transforming modern biological research and creating new opportunities for medicine, biotechnology, agriculture, and human health.
