Genetic engineering is used in many different ways, such as medicine, agriculture, and research. Genetic engineering is used to create vaccines, human growth hormones, and to mass-produce insulin. It is also used with mice to study cancer, obesity, substance abuse, and Parkinson's disease. Finally, it is used with agriculture to create genetically modified foods, which helps to improve salt, cold, or drought tolerance. It also increases the nutritional value in crops.
