B.Tech Genetic Engineering

Bachelor of Technology in Genetic Engineering

B.Tech Genetic Engineering or Bachelor of Technology in Genetic Engineering is an Under-Graduate Genetic Engineering course. Genetic engineering, also called genetic modification, is the direct human manipulation of an organism's genome using modern DNA technology. The Bachelor of Technology degree program in Genetic Engineering involves the introduction of foreign DNA or synthetic genes into the organism of interest. During the course, the following concepts are taken up; traditional breeding methods used for the propagation of recombinant organisms.

The most common form of genetic engineering involves the insertion of new genetic material at an unspecified location in the host genome. The Genetic Engineering degree program is accomplished by isolating and copying the genetic material of interest using molecular cloning methods to generate a DNA sequence containing the required genetic elements for expression and then inserting this construct into the host organism. The Bachelor of Technology course in Genetic Engineering is four years duration and is job orienting in the very field.
