Biotechnology was used for breeding livestock and crops long before the scientific basis of these techniques was understood. Biotechnology has grown rapidly through both academic research and private companies. The primary applications of this technology are in medicine (production of vaccines and antibiotics) and agriculture (genetic modification of crops, such as to increase yields).

Gene therapy—by which functioning genes are incorporated into the genomes of individuals with a non-functioning mutant gene—has the potential to cure heritable diseases. Transgenic organisms possess DNA from a different species, usually generated by molecular cloning techniques.

Early diagnosis through blood tests is crucial, and genetic screening can assess parental transmission risk. Despite available treatments, testing can be complicated by false negatives. PKU is a recessive trait, but the phenylalanine tolerance test complicates its dominance classification.
