This text explains the principles of genetic engineering using a minimum of jargon. Readers will learn how "genetically modified" foods are created and how the new technologies led to the cloning of Dolly the sheep. Gene therapy and its application in the treatment of diseases including Alzheimers, cystic fibrosis and haemophilia is also demystified, giving readers the information they need to form their own conclusions about these cutting-edge technologies. There is even a recipe for how to cook up DNA in the kitchen.
