between members of different species.

processes or methods

Gene

Transfer
The insertion of
unrelated genetic
information in
the form of DNA
into cells.
There are different reasons to do gene
transfer. Perhaps foremost among these
reasons is the treatment of diseases
using gene transfer to supply patients with
therapeutic genes. There are also different
ways to transfer genes.

processes or methods

Artificial
Insemination
Artificial insemination (AI) is the
deliberate introduction of sperm into
a female's cervix or uterine cavity

for the purpose of achieving a

pregnancy through in vivo
fertilization by means other than
sexual intercourse.
processes or methods
 Embryo Transfer
Embryo transfer refers to a step in the
process of assisted reproduction in which
embryos are placed into the uterus of a
female with the intent to establish a
pregnancy. This technique (which is often
used in connection with in vitro
fertilization (IVF)), may be used in humans
or in animals, in which situations the
goals may vary. Embryo transfer can be done
at day two or day three, or later in the
blastocyst stage, which was first performed
in 1984.

process or
methods
 Gene Therapy
Gene therapy is an experimental technique
that uses genes to treat or prevent
disease. In the future, this technique may
allow doctors to treat a disorder by
inserting a gene into a patient's cells
instead of using drugs or surgery.
