👉 Amendment engineering refers to the process of modifying or enhancing existing genetic material, typically in organisms, to achieve desired traits or functions. This technique involves the precise alteration of DNA sequences within a genome, often using advanced biotechnological tools like CRISPR-Cas9. Unlike traditional genetic engineering, which may introduce entirely new genes, amendment engineering focuses on refining or adding specific existing genes to improve characteristics such as disease resistance, yield, or nutritional value. This approach allows for more targeted and potentially less disruptive modifications compared to earlier genetic engineering methods, offering a refined strategy for genetic improvement in agriculture, medicine, and other fields.
