Genetic Engineering: Using Plasmids to Induce Cells to Produce Proteins

Scientists insert genes into loops of DNA called plasmids using natural processes and technological innovations. They can then introduce plasmids into bacteria or other cells, which replicate the inserted genes or induce the cells to produce such valuable proteins as human insulin and growth hormone.
