Genetically modified foods: safety, risks and public concerns—a review
Genetic modification is a special set of gene technology that alters the genetic machinery of such living organisms as animals, plants or microorganisms. Combining genes from different organisms is known as recombinant DNA technology and the resulting organism is said to be 'Genetically modified (GM)', 'Genetically engineered' or ...
Genetically Modified Products, Perspectives and Challenges
Review. Possible risks of using genetically modified products. Environmental Hazards. There is strong evidence that genetically modified plants appear to interact with their environment [].This means that genes introduced into genetically modified plants may be transferred to other plants or even to other organisms in the ecosystem [2-3].Gene transfer between plants, especially among related ...
Genetically modified foods: A critical review of their promise and
The term "genetic modified organisms (GMO)" has become a controversial topic as its benefits for both food producers and consumers are companied by potential biomedical risks and environmental side effects. Increasing concerns from the public about GMO, particularly in the form of genetic modified (GM) foods, are aimed at the short- and ...
Genetic modification can improve crop yields
Genetic modification can improve crop yields — but stop overselling it. With a changing climate and a growing population, the world increasingly needs more-productive and resilient crops. But ...
The impact of Genetically Modified (GM) crops in modern agriculture: A
INTRODUCTION. Genetic modification (GM) is the area of biotechnology which concerns itself with the manipulation of the genetic material in living organisms, enabling them to perform specific functions. 1, 2 The earliest concept of modification for domestication and consumption of plants dates back ∼10,000 years where human ancestors practiced "selective breeding" and "artificial ...
Beyond safety: mapping the ethical debate on heritable genome editing
Genetic engineering has provided humans the ability to transform organisms by direct manipulation of genomes within a broad range of applications including agriculture (e.g., GM crops), and the ...
Genetically modified organisms: adapting ...
Genetic modification of living organisms has been a prosperous activity for research and development of agricultural, industrial and biomedical applications. Three decades have passed since the first genetically modified products, obtained by transgenesis, become available to the market. The regulatory frameworks across the world have not been able to keep up to date with new technologies ...
Genetically modified crops: current status and future prospects
Main conclusion While transgenic technology has heralded a new era in crop improvement, several concerns have precluded their widespread acceptance. Alternative technologies, such as cisgenesis and genome-editing may address many of such issues and facilitate the development of genetically engineered crop varieties with multiple favourable traits. Abstract Genetic engineering and plant ...

Human enhancement: Genetic engineering and evolution
The noun 'enhancement' comes from the verb 'enhance', meaning 'to increase or improve'. The verb enhance can be traced back to the vulgar Latin inaltiare and late Latin inaltare ('raise, exalt'), from ' altare ' ('make high') and altus ('high'), literally 'grown tall'. For centuries human enhancement has ...
Frontiers
The development of new genetic modification techniques (nGMs), also referred to as "new (breeding) techniques" in other sources, has raised worldwide discussions regarding their regulation. Different existing regulatory frameworks for genetically modified organisms (GMO) cover nGMs to varying degrees. Coverage of nGMs depends mostly on the regulatory trigger. In general two different ...
A prudent path forward for genomic engineering and germline gene ...
Genome engineering technology offers unparalleled potential for modifying human and nonhuman genomes. In humans, it holds the promise of curing genetic disease, while in other organisms it provides methods to reshape the biosphere for the benefit of the environment and human societies. However, with such enormous opportunities come unknown ...
Principles of Genetic Engineering
Homologous recombination in animal cells was rapidly exploited by the mouse genetics research community for the production of gene-modified mouse ES cells, ... and its application to genetic modification of human and mouse cells in 2013 [47,48,49], was a watershed event to modern science. Moreover, the introduction of CRISPR/Cas9 methodology ...
Risks Associated with Genetic Modification:
An annotated bibliography of peer reviewed scientific research highlighting the human health, animal welfare, and environmental risks associated with genetic modification is presented. We present an annotated bibliography of peer reviewed scientific research highlighting the human health, animal welfare, and environmental risks associated with genetic modification.
Maize transformation: history, progress, and perspectives
Maize functional genomics research and genetic improvement strategies have been greatly accelerated and refined through the development and utilization of genetic transformation systems. Maize transformation is a composite technology based on decades' efforts in optimizing multiple factors involving microbiology and physical/biochemical DNA delivery, as well as cellular and molecular biology ...

Ongoing reflection, research and dialogue on the ELSI of gene editing
With some clinical trials underway, somatic genetic editing for therapeutic purposes is certainly much closer to being offered in the clinic. For example, several clinical trials on HIV are ongoing [3, 4]; in 2015 an infant with leukaemia was treated with modified immunes cells (using TALENs) from a healthy donor .
