Eli Lilly, an American company, is famous for (A) Producing vitamin ‘A’ enriched rice (B) Producing pest resistant plants by RNA interference (C) Producing transgenic soybean for herbicide resistance (D) Preparing two DNA sequences corresponding to A and B chains of human insulin and introduced them in the plasmids of E. coli to produce insulin

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Eli Lilly marketed the first human insulin, Humulin, in 1982. Humulin was the first medication produced using modern genetic engineering techniques in which actual human DNA is inserted into a host cell (E. coli). The host cells are then allowed to grow and reproduce normally, and due to the inserted human DNA through plasmids, they produce a synthetic version of human insulin.
