Synthetic biology is a new interdisciplinary science that involves synthesis of biological components, systems, and organisms using genetic engineering technology. The manipulation of DNA or the introduction of DNA of one organism into

The manipulation of the genomes of the organisms is revolutionizing the genetics of the organisms. The cloning of the genes is an important genetic engineering technology and is required for studying the biological properties of the genes, the DNA fragments, and the organization of the genomes. Other techniques that are part of the genetic engineering technology are isolation of DNA, restriction diges-

The genes have specific chromosomal loci and are determined by linkage analysis and deletion mapping. The eukaryotic genes are too large and have introns and exons. The gene is transcribed into mRNA which is further translated into proteins,
