Gene therapy and cloning is same in genetic engineering.....


Gene therapy must not be confused with cloning that has been in the news very much in the previous years. Cloning is generating a different human being with in essence the identical genetic structure is especially dissimilar from gene therapy.
Scientific barriers in gene therapy highlight the conception of vehicles called vectors or gene carriers to bring therapeutic genes to the cells of patients. One time the gene is in the cell its requirement to function properly. Patient’s bodies may refuse treatments and lastly there is the call for to standardize gene expression.
Viruses have developed a method of summarizing and delivering their genes to human cells in a pathogenic approach. Scientists have attempted to obtain benefit of the virus's biology and control its genome to eliminate the disease-causing genes and introduce therapeutic genes. These gene-delivery gene carriers will build this field of realism.
