近年来生物学最具革命性的发展是基因工程的出现，或者更准确地说，是DNA重组技术的出现。它将在医学遗传学和遗传疾病的预防方面产生最直接和最深远的影响，但在长期医学方面。总的来说，动植物育种将受益。基因工程一直是公众辩论的主题，因为人们担心这项技术可能造成生物危害。不幸的是，关于这一领域最近发展的许多报告中使用的语言是高度技术性的，非专家不容易理解。在这里，作为一个非专家，我将尝试用简单的（尽管我希望准确）术语概述该技术的一些基本特征，并讨论它的一些应用。
THE most revolutionary development in biology in recent years has been the advent of genetic engineering or, more precisely, recombinant DNA technology. It will have its most immediate and profound effects in medical genetics and in the prevention of genetic disease, but in the long term medicine. in general and animal and plant breeding will benefit. Genetic engineering has been the subject of public debate because of fears about the possible biohazards of the technology. Unfortunately the language used in many of the reports of recent developments in this field is highly technical and not easily understood by the non-expert. Here I, as a non-expert myself, will attempt to outline in simple (though I hope precise) terms some of the basic features of the technology and to discuss a few of its applications.
