In a process known as gene cloning, the host cell's biochemical processes are used to make many copies of the inserted gene and the protein it codes for. These technologies have produced transgenicplants and animals; where a gene from one species is introduced into another species. Transgenics have brought the possibility of specific gene therapies for human diseases such as diabetes. Genomics attempts to understand the genome of a species as a whole, including mapping the complete nucleotide sequence for every gene.
The most ambitious of these projects is the Human Genome Project, which has mapped every gene on every chromosome in the human genome. Virtual Genetics Education Centre. As a result, offspring can have different combinations of genes than their parents. Genes that are located farther apart on the same chromosome have a greater likelihood of undergoing recombination, which means they have a greater recombination frequency.
