Abstract

It was an experiment right out of science fiction: scientists taking different species, extracting their genetic sequences and then combining these to get a new sequence that promises some amazing powers. However, before telling you how they did it, some background information is essential. Evolution, through sexual reproduction, enables new combinations of genes to arise via shuffling of the dna sequences derived from each parent, a feature that is unique in itself. This process, known as recombination, puts together bits from two similar-but-not-exactly-identical pre-existing genes from each parent and creates a brand new one.
