Detailed explanation-1: -The first genetically engineered, synthetic “human” insulin was produced in 1978 using E. coli bacteria to produce the insulin.

Detailed explanation-2: -The genetic engineering process The gene for human insulin is inserted into the gap in the plasmid. This plasmid is now genetically modified. The genetically modified plasmid is introduced into a new bacteria or yeast cell. This cell then divides rapidly and starts making insulin.

Detailed explanation-3: -For example, genetic engineering may involve adding a gene from one species to an organism from a different species to produce a desired trait. Used in research and industry, genetic engineering has been applied to the production of cancer therapies, brewing yeasts, genetically modified plants and livestock, and more.

Detailed explanation-4: -E. coli expression system for production of insulin. E. coli is a preferred microorganism for large-scale production of recombinant proteins.
