DNA Technology and Genomics

Overview: Understanding and Manipulating Genomes
One of the greatest achievements of modern science
Has been the sequencing of the human genome, which was largely completed by 2003
DNA sequencing accomplishments
Have all depended on advances in DNA technology, starting with the invention of methods for making recombinant DNA

DNA technology has launched a revolution in the area of biotechnology
The manipulation of organisms or their genetic components to make useful products
An example of DNA technology is the microarray
A measurement of gene expression of thousands of different genes
