Advantages of using genetic engineering technology to produce drugs

Increase output, reduce production costs, etc. Genetic engineering, also known as gene splicing technology and DNA recombination technology, is based on molecular genetics, using modern methods of molecular biology and microbiology, constructing hybrid DNA molecules in vitro according to pre-designed blueprints, and then introducing living cells to change the original genetic characteristics of organisms, obtaining new varieties and producing new products. Using genetic engineering technology can solve this problem well. Microbial growth and reproduction are rapid and easy to control, which is suitable for large-scale industrial production. It can not only solve the yield problem, but also greatly reduce the cost by introducing the gene of corresponding drug biosynthesis into microbial cells for expression and making them produce corresponding drugs.
