Aspects such as genetic engineering have allowed for engineering of transgenic organisms such as bacteria to produce bioproducts such as insulin to addresses medical disorders such as diabetes. Another is the innovation of whole-genome sequencing that allows researchers to determine genetic predisposition of a particular person to particular diseases.
