Since the 1950’s when Watson and Crick proposed the discovery of DNA, the arena of genomics sought to understand how manipulation of an organisms genome can impact the functionality of another organism through gene manipulation. The process of gene insertion eventually sought biologists to understand a copied gene of interest. Sanger in the late 1970’s won a Nobel prize for the sanger method of DNA sequencing in which amplified DNA...
