About Webinar

Conference Series LLC LTD takes immense pleasure and extends a warm welcome to attend the 5thWebinar on  Genetic Engineering  for a series of webinars that discuss how Genetic Engineering research can move science forward despite the barriers created by the COVID-19 pandemic. The Genetic Engineering  webinar is scheduled on February 25, 2022. These webinars share the latest advances in Genetic Engineering as well as strategies for career development and researcher education.

Webinar on Advancements in Genetic Engineering is going to become a huge platform to all the Geneticists, Genetic Counselors, Genetics Associations and Societies, Cell and Gene therapy Faculties, Stem Cell Researchers and Faculty, scientist, researchers and innovators and expertise in the field of genetics and gene technology to share and explore their views on their research and case studies with the global experts.

Various techniques are used to study the science that deals with physical and behavioural characteristics inheritance, including medical conditions. All methods used to study genetic phenomena such as variation, heredity and DNA structure and function. Electrophoresis, Cloning, Probes and Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) are few Genetic Techniques.

Genetic Research on human subjects can raise a number of distinctive problems. One common problem is that researchers (and sometimes experimental subjects) may acquire genetic information that also pertains to relatives who have not consented to any investigation and need not be made aware of its results. All accounts of research ethics insist that prior consent must be obtained from individual research subjects, and that data obtained must remain confidential. This individualistic position is challenged when the results of investigation are relevant not only to an individual but to a family. Genetic Research may also raise distinctive ethical problems if it ‘medicalizes’ characteristics previously accepted as natural variation.

Track 01: Current Genetic Engineering Discoveries

Genetic Engineering, also called recombinant DNA technology, involves the group of techniques used to cut up and join together genetic material, especially DNA from different biological species, and to introduce the resulting hybrid DNA into an organism in order to form new combinations of heritable genetic material. Genetic engineering has been applied in numerous fields including research, medicine, industrial biotechnology and agriculture. Many more new discoveries are invented in the Genetic Research. But the few Recent Discoveries in Genetic Engineering,

Track 02: Genetically Modified Crops and Food

Crops:Genetically modified crops (GM crops) are plants used in agriculture, the DNA of which has been modified using genetic engineering methods. In most cases, the aim is to introduce a new trait to the plant which does not occur naturally in the species. Examples in food crops include resistance to certain pests, diseases, environmental conditions, reduction of spoilage, resistance to chemical treatments (e.g. resistance to a herbicide), or improving the nutrient profile of the crop. Examples in non-food crops include production of pharmaceutical agents, biofuels, and other industrially useful goods, as well as for bioremediation.
Food: Genetically modified foods (GM foods), also known as genetically engineered foods (GE foods), or bioengineered foods are foods produced from organisms that have had changes introduced into their DNA using the methods of genetic engineering. Genetic engineering techniques allow for the introduction of new traits as well as greater control over traits when compared to previous methods, such as selective breeding and mutation breeding.

Track 03: Gene Therapy, IVF, Stem Cells, and Pharmacogenomics

Gene Therapy: Human DNA is estimated to have approximately 12 million single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and thousands of copy number variants (CNVs), most of which are not harmful. However, genetic disorders do sometimes occur as a result of mutations that alter or inhibit protein function. Gene therapy focuses on correcting these mutated or defective genes by way of the following techniques:

• Random insertion of a normal gene into the genome (most common technique)
• Replacement of the abnormal gene with a normal one
• Repair of the abnormal gene
• Altering regulation of a particular gene.

IVF: The in vitro fertilization (IVF) "miracle" of the late 1970s occurred five years before the polymerase chain reaction revolutionized the field of genetics, 18 years before the first bacterial genome was sequenced, and 26 years before completion of the human genome sequence. Stem Cell Therapy: Beyond gene therapy, another issue of much debate relates to the use of stem cells.

These cells can be divided into two broad classes: embryonic and adult. Both classes are currently being explored for possible therapeutic applications.

Track 04: Genetic Change and Mutations

A gene mutation is a permanent alteration in the DNA sequence that makes up a gene, such that the sequence differs from what is found in most people. Mutations range in size; they can affect anywhere from a single DNA building block (base pair) to a large segment of a chromosome that includes multiple genes. Mutation in the DNA of a body cell of a multicellular organism (somatic mutation) may be transmitted to descendant cells by DNA replication and hence result in a sector or patch of cells having abnormal function, an example being cancer.

Track 05: Molecular Cloning and Gene Delivery

Molecular cloning: It is a set of experimental methods in molecular biology that are used to assemble recombinant DNA molecules and to direct their replication within host organisms. The use of the word cloning refers to the fact that the method involves the replication of one molecule to produce a population of cells with identical DNA molecules. Molecular cloning generally uses DNA sequences from two different organisms: the species that is the source of the DNA to be cloned, and the species that will serve as the living host for replication of the recombinant DNA.

Gene Delivery: Gene delivery is the process of introducing foreign genetic material, such as DNA or RNA, into host cells. Genetic material must reach the nucleus of the host cell to induce gene expression. Successful gene delivery requires the foreign genetic material to remain stable within the host cell and can either integrate into the genome or replicate independently of it.
