Genetically modified (GM) foods are food items that have had their DNA changed through genetic engineering. Unlike conventional genetic modification that is carried out through conventional breeding and that have been consumed for thousands of years, GM foods were first put on the market in the ear...
The technology in which a gene(s) is moved between unrelated species has been termed ‘genetic transformation,’‘gene technology,’ or ‘genetic engineering.’ Its result is a ‘genetically modified (GM) organism.’ The principal GM food crops grown commercially to date are herbicide-tolerant an...
Genetic modified (GM) food Transgenic Safety DNA CRISPR-Cas9 1. Introduction In July 2011, a group of protesters from Greenpeace, a non-governmental, environmental organization, broke into an experimental farm of the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO), an Australian ...

Proponents of genetically modified crops say the technology is the only way to feed a warming, increasingly populous world. Critics say we tamper with nature at our peril. Who is right?

Genetically ModifiedFood Genetically modified (GM) foods are foods derived from genetically modified organisms. Genetically modified organisms have had specific changes introduced into their DNA by genetic engineering techniques. These techniques are much more precise than mutagenesis (mutation breeding) where...

Genetically modified food has been headline news for a few years now: but it's difficult to know how far the GM revolution has affected our lives. Is the food on our shelves really GM-free? How much influence and power do food corporations wield over our lives? Andy Rees provides the ...
