Description:	ABSTRACT: Basic concepts and methodologies concerning genetic engineering are presented in this review and is directed to people or professionales not familiarized to it. Moreover, it can be a document to clarity what is genetic engineering, the importance of its contributions to modern agriculture, medicine or livestock research and to support discussions on genetic research ethics. Covers information on structure of nucleic acids, types, functions and main processes such us DNA duplication, transcription and traduction. Important methodologies are covered about DNA/RNA extraction, electrophoresis, PCR, nucleic acid libraries production, cloning, sequencing, gene characterization in connection to main historical events of genetic engineering. It emphasizes the most important applications in agriculture and livestock research.
