Genetic engineering applies DNA manipulation and transfer technologies between different organisms. It allows the improvement of animal and plant species, the correction of genetic defects and the production of numerous useful compounds for people. Some microorganisms are genetically manipulated so they produce vital human proteins for people who do not produce them efficiently. In this sense, this animated infographic shows the obtaining of insulin. This infographic is part of the Age of Genetics series, which also includes animations Genetic Therapies, Bovine Cloning, Biochip Applications and Stem Cells.
