Video: Journey of a Gene

July 30, 2014

University of Nebraska-Lincoln and U.S. Department of Agriculture developed a video project titled Journey of a Gene which is featured in the Plant and Soil Sciences eLibrary. The videos were developed to provide consumers with a detailed learning resource on genetic engineering. The Journey of a Gene project breaks down the process of genetic engineering into four sections that mirror the four main steps in engineering soybeans resistant to sudden death syndrome: designing the gene, transformation, breeding and testing. In the videos, scientists explain the techniques involved in genetic engineering.
