Risks from GMOs due to horizontal gene transfer.
Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is the stable transfer of genetic material from one organism to another without reproduction or human intervention. Transfer occurs by the passage of donor genetic material across cellular boundaries, followed by heritable incorporation to the genome of the recipient organism. In addition to conjugation, transformation and transduction, other diverse mechanisms of...

15 صفحه اولDebate on GMOs Health Risks after Statistical Findings in Regulatory Tests
We summarize the major points of international debate on health risk studies for the main commercialized edible GMOs. These GMOs are soy, maize and oilseed rape designed to contain new pesticide residues since they have been modified to be herbicide-tolerant (mostly to Roundup) or to produce mutated Bt toxins. The debated alimentary chronic risks may come from unpredictable insertional mutagene...

COVER Immunostained fl uorescence microscopy image of a biomarker of endogenous withdrawal (phosphorylated extracellular regulated kinase, red) that increases in mouse spinal cord neurons (green) during opioid receptor blockade (image width: 250 micrometers). Infl ammation or injury to the skin causes μ-opioid receptors to become constitutively active, which leads to long-term relief from chron...
متن کاملELISA-based Detection of GMOs
Advances in biotechnology have enabled the development and production of Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) with properties such as tolerance to herbicides, resistance to insects and the addition of nutrition values. Transformation of plants is done by inserting DNA into a single cell, which is then regrown into a complete organism, the plant. DNA is the blueprint of each cell that is transc...
