Genetic Modification Top Open Access Journals
Genetic modification is a technique to change the properties of plants, animals, or microorganisms by transferring a piece of DNA from one organism to another. For this purpose, the desired
gene is specifically excreted from the DNA of one organism and added to another organism. This technique is used, for example, to develop fungi and bacteria that produce drugs. Adding desired properties to living organisms, e.g. B. disease resistance or drought can also be achieved by crossing species. Intersections also have undesirable properties. The process of getting rid of this unwanted property by crossing takes decades. Genetic change is the process of changing an organism's genetic makeup. This has been done indirectly for thousands of years through controlled or selective
plant and animal breeding. Modern
biotechnology has made it easier and faster to target certain genes for more precise changes in the body through genetic engineering. In the field of biotechnology, GMO means genetically modified organisms, whereas in the food industry this term only refers to foods that are specific and not selectively bred. This difference causes confusion among consumers, which is why the US Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) prefer the term
genetic engineering (GE) for food.
