When gene targeting involving gene amplification is attempted in an individual's tissue to treat disease, it is known as:
  1. Biopiracy
  2. Gene therapy
  3. Molecular diagnosis
  4. Safety testing

Solution

Recombinant DNA technology, Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) or gene amplification, and Enzyme-Linked Immuno-sorbent Assay (ELISA) are some of the techniques that serve the purpose of early diagnosis. This is the use of recombinant DNA technology in gene therapy.

Gene therapy is a collection of methods that allows the correction of a gene defect that has been diagnosed in a child/embryo.
