**4. Conclusions**

Genetic engineering has become an integral part of the modern era, and its vast applications have touched and evolved almost all important fields necessary for living. This technology has revolutionized medical, agricultural, and pharmaceutical sectors. The genetic engineering involves a group of techniques that are employed for varied purposes based on our requirements. This technology has provided us the cure for many diseases, pest-resistant crops, transgenic organisms and hormones, and other important products. The modern era of biological research remains

incomplete without this technology. Genetic engineering holds the future of modern medicine, agriculture, and pharmaceutical industries. The genome editing tools are gaining much attention in the present era. Genetic engineering is the answer to all the solutions that we are facing today. In order to feed the rising population of the world, it is the tool for enhancing crop productivity. Through genetic engineering the fermentation ability of yeast can be enhanced for increased alcohol production. Similarly all sectors like antibiotic production can also be augmented, and the structure can also be modified for better efficacy. Genetic engineering also opens the gateways for the treatment of diseases that have medically no potential cure available till date. The technique of gene manipulation can provide better longevity of life. This technique is the future of almost all sectors, and with the advent of time
