Abstract
Genetics, coined by the British biologist William Bateson in 1909, is the study of hereditary and variation, seeking to understand the causes of the resemblances and differences in the parents and their progeny and genes. Genes are discrete units of information encoded within the DNA, which in turn is localized within chromosomes found in the nucleus of each somatic cells. Gene therapy a process essentially consists of introducing specific genetic material into target cells without producing toxic effects on surrounding tissue. In research facilities all around the world, scientists are attempting to stop diseases at their very roots. Instead of trying to find drugs to cure diseases they are trying to manipulate the genes responsible for particular disease. The dynamic therapeutic modalities of gene therapy have been advancing rapidly.
