23. PRINCIPLES OF BIOTECHNOLOGY Explains the basic concepts with some background on genetics and genetic engineering to transfer desired traits. Includes a glossary of trade words and their meanings. http://warp.nal.usda.gov/bic/Education_res/iastate.info/bio1.html

PRINCIPLES OF BIOTECHNOLOGY Biotechnology Information Series (Bio-1) North Central Regional Extension Publication Iowa State University - University Extension Biotechnology Defined Biotechnology can be broadly defined as "using living organisms or their products for commercial purposes." As such, biotechnology has been practiced by human society since the beginning of recorded history in such activities as baking bread, brewing alcoholic beverages, or breeding food crops or domestic animals. A narrower and more specific definition of biotechnology is "the commercial application of living organisms or their products, which involves the deliberate manipulation of their DNA molecules" (see glossary for definitions of bold-print words). This definition implies a set of laboratory techniques developed within the last 20 years that have been responsible for the tremendous scientific and commercial interest in biotechnology, the founding of many new companies, and the redirection of research efforts and financial resources among established companies and universities. These laboratory techniques provide scientists with a spectacular vision of the design and function of living organisms, and provide technologists in many fields with the tools to implement exciting commercial applications. Principles of Biology All living organisms are composed of cells that contain a substance called DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) in the chromosomes. (See Fig.1.) The structure of DNA molecules contains information that is used by cells as a "recipe" for the organism; that is, the characteristics of any living thing essentially are determined by the information in DNA. The "words" for the DNA recipe, called genes, are derived from a 4-letter alphabet (A, C, G, T) and usually contain between 1,000 and 100,000 letters. The entire recipe, called the genome, may contain between 4 million (simple bacteria) and 3 billion (human) letters or more.

Are the claims valid? ... What do people want? What is Genetic Engineering? Genetic engineering is a laboratory technique used by scientists to change the DNA of living organisms. DNA is the blueprint for the individuality of an organism. The organism relies upon the information stored in its DNA for the management of every biochemical process. The life, growth and unique features of the organism depend on its DNA. The segments of DNA which have been associated with specific features or functions of an organism are called genes Molecular biologists have discovered many enzymes which change the structure of DNA in living organisms. Some of these enzymes can cut and join strands of DNA. Using such enzymes, scientists learned to cut specific genes from DNA and to build customized DNA using these genes. They also learned about vectors , strands of DNA such as viruses, which can infect a cell and insert themselves into its DNA.

Where is the safety testing of GM soya? CAMPAIGN TO BAN GENETICALLY ENGINEERED FOODS Initiative zum Verbot genmanipulierter Nahrung Kampanj: Förbjud genetiskt manipulerade livsmedel Campaña para prohibir alimentos transgénicos In March 1996 the European Parliament voted against full and complete labeling of genetic modified food. On April 3, 1996 the European Commission formally approved the import, storage and processing of Monsato's genetically modified soybeans, Roundup Ready, in the European Union. The soybeans will not be required to be labeled as they enter Europe. Soybeans are used in 60% of all processed foods, such as bread, pasta, candies, ice cream, pies, biscuits, margarine, meat products and vegetarian meat substitutes. In fall1996 those products will be available unlabeled in the shops. These decisions were made without properly informing the public and are ignoring public wishes. Surveys consistently find that 97% of European consumers want clear labeling of all genetically engineered foods and 80% do not want genetically engineered foods at all. THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING!

A beginner's guide to genetic engineering (This text contains two large tables which are best viewed with the full width of the browser window.) The following guide assumes no previous knowledge of the subject. For words not explained in the text below, please see the glossary What is genetics? Genetics is the scientific study of genes, i.e. variations in the characteristics resemblances and differences of organisms and how these characteristics are inherited from generation to generation. Modern genetics is as much concerned with the organismic level of this process as it is with the cellular and molecular levels. What are genes? Whole articles have been written trying to answer this question. The conclusion is that a gene is a fuzzy concept which depends upon who is using the term and in what context. For the earliest geneticists, genes were fairly distinct traits or characteristics which could be observed in the whole organism. For the modern molecular biologist or molecular geneticist a more chemical definition of a gene is used which brings in a number of additional concepts that we explain below. The molecular gene is a definite sequence of bases in the DNA chain which together code for the production of a particular protein.

34. Pet Cloning – Dog Cloning, Cat Cloning, Horse Cloning And More. How Animals Are genetic engineering for Animal Health. Cloning your pet? Clones of dogs, cats, horses, etcetera will likely be here within 510 years. http://www.lazaron.com

Animal cloning, and more particularly pet cloning, (dogs, cats and horses) is likely to be commercially available to many animal owners within a decade. If you want a valued animal cloned or to take advantage of the many advances in genetic science not yet commercially available, You must have living cells from your animal properly preserved. By cryopreserving a small skin sample from your animal you will have the option to participate in such advances long after the animal has passed away. the growing list of successfully cloned animals... cats deer cows pigs sheep goats Learning about cryopreservation and cloning and selecting a gene bank should be fairly simple. We are one of a very few highly reputable gene banks who provide comparable services. However, Lazaron will not charge you extra for emergency, rush or deceased animal services. There is no reason to pay hundreds of dollars more to have your animals cells preserved. We believe that it is important that our potential clients have a clear understanding of cryopreservation and cloning as well as who we are at Lazaron. Before you make any decisions about genetic cryopreservation, call Lazaron and discuss your circumstances with one of our reproductive physiologists. Select one of the topics listed in the upper left margin (or at the bottom of the page) to learn more about cloning your animal and the need to preserve genetic material. Lazaron wants to help you make an informed decision while your animal is still with you.

A simple introduction This text is written so that even you who have forgotten much of what you may have learned about genetics will understand it. Therefore, the description is as simple as possible (some details of minor importance have been omitted or simplified). If you only want to rapidly get an idea of the great difference between mating and genetic engineering, see the "at a glance" illustration (elementary level) Abbreviations: GE= Genetically Engineered. Text difficulty: [EL] = elemenatry level. [ML] = medium level. [AL] = advanced level. Contents The hereditary substance Mating - a natural recombination of hereditary information Mating summarized in a simple illustration Genetic engineering, an artificial manipulation of genes ... Conclusion 1. The hereditary substance The hereditary substance, DNA is what is manipulated by Genetic Engineering, below called GE. DNA contains a complete set of information determining the structure and function of a living organism, be it a bacterium, a plant or a human being. DNA is a very long string of "code words", arranged in an orderly sequence. It contains the instructions for creating all the proteins in the body.
