MEDICAL IMPLICATIONS A genetically modified organism (GMO) is an organism whose genetic material has been altered using genetic engineering techniques. Organisms that have been genetically modified include micro-organisms such as bacteria and yeast‚ insects‚ plants‚ fish‚ and mammals. GMOs are the source of genetically modified foods‚ and are also widely used in scientific research and to produce goods other than food. HUMANS Human gene therapy Gene therapy is the use of DNA as

Genetically modified food(GM food) genetically been modified by using the modern biotechnology techniques. GM crops is produced because there are some advantages both to the producer and consumer of these crops. The aim to produced GM crops based on GM organism was to develop the crop protection against plant disease such as the insects

Soybean As of 2004‚ 85 percent of the soybeans grown on U.S. soil have been genetically modified [source: Pew Initiative on Food and Biotechnology] Because soy is widely used in the production of other items (including cereal‚ baked products‚ chocolate and even ice cream)‚ chances are everybody in the U.S. is eating GM soy. It might be worth noting‚ however‚ that tofu and soy sauce are usually

Bacteria growing in tanks with a carbon-based food source in which the polymer is then isolated and purified presently produce the polymer industrially. Biotechnology has been recently used to economically attempt produce the polymer using genetic engineering technique. The advantages of this process are faster growth‚ better yields‚ easier recovery‚ and production of less extra waste biomass and cheaper substrates

What are Genetically Modified Foods? Genetically Modified Foods (GMOs) are organisms in which the genetic material (DNA) has been altered in a way that does not occur naturally (man made). The process is called “modern biotechnology” or “gene technology”‚ or “genetic engineering”. These methods are applied to nearly any boxed or package food that you have eaten. Why do we use them? GM foods are developed – and marketed – because there is some perceived advantage either to the producer or

Name: CBMS880- Medical and Molecular Biotechnology | Animal cloning is getting popular by scientists day by day after the success of the sheep Dolly which was the first animal clone in the world. Dolly was created effectively by Roslin Instute scientist in Edinburgh (TechNyou) and she was euthanized when she was six year old due to a virus-induced lung tumour (Mott M.‚ 2004). Even though the relevant scientists report that there is no evidence that cloning might be the cause of the disease of
