Caution urged over editing DNA in wildlife (intentionally or not) A work describing the use of a gene-editing technique to insert a mutation into fruit files that would be passed on to almost all of its offspring has brought the concern about bioengineering in to a more fierce debate. A lot of scientists feel uneasy about this study: what if the engineered creature escaped from the lab? The mutation might…

Do you regard GMO-labels as negative warnings?
In the last two posts we have talked about bioengineering. I still want to lay my today’s topic on GMO. First a question, do you regard GMO-labels as negative warnings? A recent new study reveals that most of the people don’t regard GMO labeling as warning meanings and will not be scared away just by the labels. This study was released right after the U.S. House passed a bill that…
How do you think about bioengineering?
Bioengineering has always been discussed in the community. But for the esoteric knowledge of biology is poorly understood, it is often difficult to understand genetically modified products. According to a survey, only about 37% of Americans believe genetically modified foods are safe, and the scientific community in the United States scientists that believe GM foods are safe accounted for 88%. Recently, a company has developed a kind of flower that…
How far away is transgenic animal food from us?
According to the US “WIRED” magazine’s report, for a long time our human beings have almost transformed all of the plants and animals that provide us with food with traditional breeding methods. While the practice by using genetic engineering to make gene migration between different living organisms mutual implant makes people doubt about the future. This, however, is what happened in France two weeks ago: the offspring of lamb that…
