BIOSENSORS ADVANCED BIOREPORTER TECHNOLOGIES FOR TARGETED SENSING OF CHEMICAL AND BIOLOGICAL AGENTS Steven Ripp and Gary S. Sayler Introduction Bioreporters refer to intact‚ living microbial cells that have been genetically engineered to produce a measurable signal in response to a specific chemical or physical agent in their environment (Figure 1). Bioreporters contain two essential genetic elements‚ a promoter gene and a reporter gene. The promoter gene is turned on (transcribed) when the

This is the Way the Cookie Crumbles “Mommy‚” a five year-old child states‚ “this food is tastier than the other kind.” The reason for this is simple; genetic engineering. Genetic engineering is modification of a plant’s or animal’s DNA. Scientists do this to enhance a certain gene within the organism. Some opponents of genetically modified food argue that growing this kind of food will ruin the environment and the ecosystem permanently. In fact‚ genetically modified food is beneficial for

What would the world be like today if science had no limits? Would there be an end to world hunger and would we have full grown clones of humans? But would we also have new strains of fatal viruses that can wipe out an entire population‚ or what about genetically mutated superhumans trying to control the world? If science was unlimited‚ the world could either be the perfect planet‚ or it can fall into the hands of mad men only who unleash the wrath of unknown science throughout the planet. Science

however‚ the biggest turning points are the increase of knowledge and biotechnology that is accessible‚ the change of control from the state back to the individual and a shift in the perception of those considered “unfit”. Each of these are as important as the other‚ changing the control has allowed all individuals to reclaim their bodies in the medical industry‚ despite race‚ gender‚ sexuality and health.
