The food safety of transgenic animals: implications from traditional breeding.
The genetic events associated with traditional selection have implications for the food safety of transgenic animals. Selection has been empirical, relying on the use of the best animals for breeding. Molecular techniques are now being used to identify the genes selected and to describe the differences between alleles that are important in selection to improve quantitative traits. The results o...
متن کاملScience, safety, and trust: the case of transgenic food
Genetically modified (GM) food is discussed as an example of the controversial relation between the intrinsic uncertainty of the scientific approach and the demand of citizen-consumers to use products of science innovation that are known to be safe. On the whole, peer-reviewed studies on GM food safety do not note significant health risks, with a few exceptions, like the most renowned "Pusztai ...
متن کاملFood safety and inspection service update on food safety of animals derived from biotechnology experiments.
Recent progress in the field of biotechnology and the production of transgenic livestock has raised a question regarding the need for the regulation of these animals. There is also the need to regulate nontransgenic animals resulting from transgenic animal research. It is anticipated that several governmental agencies will be involved in regulatory issues pertaining to these animals. The United...
متن کاملTransgenic animals
The technique of introducing new genetic material into the germline of mammals has been a major development in biotechnology over the last decades. ”Transgenic animals“ are animals whose chromosomes contain stable, integrated copies of exogenous genes, additional copies of endogenous genes or gene constructs. They are frequently created by two different techniques: microinjection of DNA into th...
