DNA is the recipe for life. DNA is a molecule found in the nucleus of every cell and is made up of 4 nucleotides Adenine (A), Guanine (G), Thymine (T), and Cystosine (C). The order of the nucleotides [..]

An event is the insertion of a particular transgene into a specific location on a chromosome. The term "event" is often used to differentiate genetically engineered crop varieties.

Genetic engineering is the process of manually adding new DNA on a molecular level with the goal of adding one or more new traits that are not already found in that organism. For the purposes of this [..]

The selective and purposeful alteration of genes by humans. Genetic modification includes methods of incorporating new genes or traits into an organism through genetic engineering, mutagenesis and tra [..]

Herbicide resistance is when plants become resistant to the negative effects of a particular herbicide formulation or are genetically engineered in order to have resistance to a particular herbicide. [..]

A set of strategies to reduce the frequency of resistance in crop pests. These strategies are widely referred to as Insect Resistance Management.

Novel foods are products that have never been used as a food; foods which result from a process that has not previously been used for food; or, foods that have been modified by genetic manipulation. T [..]

Proteins do the work in cells. They can be part of structures (such as cell walls, organelles, etc), regulate reactions that take place in the cell or they can serve as enzymes, which speed-up reactio [..]
