What is Gene Therapy?
The transplantation of normal genes into cells in place of missing or defective ones in order to correct genetic disorders.

How could a a mutation be corrected in the future?
There can be new mutations that cancel out the effects of the first mutation. A frameshift caused by an inserted nucleotide at one spot is "fixed" by deleting a nucleotide in another.

What is genetic engineering?

How can DNA be inserted into the host genome?
New DNA may be inserted in the host genome by first isolating and copying the genetic material of interest using molecular cloning methods to generate a DNA sequence, or by synthesizing the DNA, and then inserting this construct into the host organism. Genes may be removed, or "knocked out", using a Nucleus.
