description

Abstract The genetic modification is a widely debated topic. Pros and cons are substantiated with scientific results or by biased interpretation of experimental results and potential hazards. Genetic modification is a naturally occurring phenomenon. Basic research type of application of genetic modification is teaching us important lessons about the implication of genes in every aspects of life. The applied research–related genetic modifications are offering unprecedented solutions to make plants, animals, and microorganisms bring more benefits, while their impact on environment and human health once they are released into field or get introduced into the food chain needs case-to-case assessment.
