Synopsis Genetic engineering is the branch of biology that deals with the splicing and recombining of specific genetic units from the DNA of living organisms, so as to produce new species, biochemicals, etc. in simple terms, genetic engineering is about scientists altering the ‘recipes’ for making life-the genes which you find in all living things. Doing this is very clever and could be very useful for the humankind. The main idea behind crating a dictionary on such a new and budding subject is to provide those related to the field, with a concise and handy referral. Not only can the people related to the field benefit from this repertoire, but the novices in the field can also use it as a guide to understand the basics of the subject. The dictionary covers almost all the terms that find a place in the field of genetic engineering, be it something as basic as a ‘gene’, to a complex and unheard term as ‘oospore’.
