Genetic engineers is when you are taking fragment of DNA or molecules and reconstructing them and creating new genomes. A genome is a complete set of genetic directions (pronounced gee-nome). For example it could mean transferring one DNA specimen into another therefore creating a new genome.

Major Job Responsibilities

Some of the responsibilities of a genetic engineer
A genetic engineer needs to be thoroughly aware of the concepts of the subject and its present as well as future prospects.

The living organisms being engineered for genetic purposes or those upon whom some laboratory research work or study is being conducted must be kept under proper care by the engineer.
Environmental conditions often serve as important factors to determine the results of various genetic engineering tests; hence the natural issues such as temperature, heat, pressure, water content, etc. must be properly assessed and provided for by the engineers.
Genetic engineers need to keep tab on the advancements in the concerned field by various firms and beyond national boundaries as well; by maintaining interactive sessions, reading journals and published materials, etc.
A genetic engineer may have to do more than just fieldwork – presentation of ideas before a large group of people within the place of work or at other places

Ian Wilmut

Where does he work:

Roslin Institute
Job Tasks: Ian helps research embryos specifically the manipulation of them. He extracts cells from a specimen and "injects" them into body of another. He lead the Dolly the Sheep project where he cloned a Finn Dorset sheep. Now he just sticks to embryology.
Method: He created the method of cloning sheep/other animals

Where Do They Work?

Usually people who are genetic engineers would work in a lab because they are testing DNAs and reconfiguring genomes, which is a compilation of strings of DNA aka genes.

The median salary is $82,840 with a minimum of $44,320 and a maximum of $139,440

Education

jordeleon — 2017-10-23 16:05:09 UTC

You will need Bachelor’s degree and Master’s degree in Genetic engineering and other related fields such biology. It is crucial to have a PhD if you want to work as an independent researcher at an academic institution. You also need a certification by State bodies and licensure to become valid genetic engineer.

I liked how you gived information about genetic engineer.
An area to improve might be...

nice pictures

but little more writtin cuz dat picture takes up alot of space

I like your information

I like there was a lot of info
You should cite using Noodle Tools (for proper citation)

Ben T. space it out a little because it's really crowded

Awesome example.
