Briefing Number 3 August 1998 . The population, which is currently 5.8 billion, is expected to reach 8 billion by 2020 and 11 billion by 2050 . The advocates of genetic engineering believe that the increasing demand for food must be met without expanding the amount of land used for agricultural purposes (to protect biodiversity) and by addressing issues of soil erosion, salinisation, overgrazing and pollution of water supplies . However, many organisations in less developed countries, aid agencies and environmental groups are less positive about the role genetic engineering can play in solving problems of hunger and tackling environmental degradation. Who Is Behind GE Foods? Governments of developed countries are also supporting the introduction of GE foods. In 1994, the Biotechnology and Biological Science Research Council (BBSRC) was formed to replace the Agriculture and Food Research Council in Britain, reflecting a change in emphasis in agricultural research. Many representatives of large corporations sit on Research and Strategy Boards of the BBSRC , with a similar amount being contributed by Hoechst and other partners. In effect, the project has become a sales promotion for the GE oilseed rape developed by Hoechst subsidiaries AgrEvo and Plant Genetic Systems to bring about

"Biological Weapons and Genetic Technologies" is a new GeneWatch UK briefing series on how the advances in genetics may influence the development of biological weapons. Although biological weapons are abhorred by most people, genetic engineering and other genetic technologies, coupled with other technological advances, could make them more ‘attractive’ to the military. GeneWatch UK believes that it is only with increased awareness of the potential abuses of genetic technologies amongst both scientists and civil society that the development of biological weapons can be avoided. As well as general awareness, institutional scrutiny to avoid possible abuses has to be cemented in international law. The first briefing in this series addresses the issue of why the recent advances in genetic technologies pose new risks. The second considers the issue of verification and the importance of having proper procedures in place to ensure that a potentially positive technology is not abused. The third looks at the international laws covering biological weapons and how they should be strengthened. The briefings which are currently available in this series are listed below.

Rapid developments in biotechnology, genetics and genomics pose a variety of environmental, ethical, political, and social questions. And because they open up tremendous new possibilities for biological warfare, these technological developments have grave implications for peace and security. Genetic engineering can contribute to offensive BW programs in a variety of ways. With genetic manipulation, classical biowarfare agents such as anthrax or plague may be made more efficient weapons.

The Sunshine Project Briefing Paper - 9 October 2003 http://www.sunshine-project.org This briefing is extracted from: Emerging Technologies: Genetic Engineering and Biological Weapons , Sunshine Project Backgrounder #12, October 2003 (forthcoming) Recreating the Spanish flu? Influenza as a bioweapon does not sound like a particularly grave threat. Annual outbreaks kill many people, particularly the elderly; but a case of the flu is generally percieved as an uncomfortable nuisance rather than a grave threat. But flu viruses can be devastating. In 1918 and 1919, the so-called "Spanish flu" killed an estimated 20-40 million people worldwide and, since then, the highly changeable flu virus has resurfaced in a variety of particularly virulent forms. The strain of influenza virus that caused the 1918 global epidemic ("pandemic") was exceptionally aggressive. It showed a high capacity to cause severe disease and a propensity to kill fit young adults rather than the elderly. The mortality rate among the infected was over 2.5%, as compared to less than 0.1% in other influenza epidemics (Taubenberger et al. 1997). This high mortality rate, especially amongst the younger, lowered the average life expectancy in the USA by almost 10 years (Tumpey et al. 2002). Creation of this particularly dangerous influenza strain, as it is currently pursued by a US research team, may thus pose a serious biowarfare threat.

HCSL Publications Genetic Algorithms Based Design and Optimization of Statistical Quality Control . Hatjimihail AT. Genetic algorithms based design and optimization of statistical quality control procedures. Clin Chem 1993;39:1972-8. Abstract In general, we can not use algebraic or enumerative methods to optimize a quality control (QC) procedure so as to detect the total allowable analytical error with a stated probability, while the probability for false rejection is minimum. Genetic algorithms (GAs) offer an alternative, as they do not require knowledge of the objective function to be optimized and search through large parameter spaces quickly. To explore the application of GAs in statistical QC, I have developed two interactive computer programs, based on the deterministic crowding genetic algorithm. Given an analytical process, the program "Optimize" optimizes a user defined QC procedure, while the program "Design" designs a novel optimized QC procedure. The programs search through the parameter space and find the optimal or a near-optimal solution. The possible solutions of the optimization problem are evaluated using computer simulation Abstract in PubMed 2. Hatjimihail AT, Hatjimihail TT.

HCSL Publications Entropy and Genetic Algorithms 1. Hatjimihail AT. Entropy and genetic algorithms: Definition and some graphs [HCSL Technical Report No I]. Drama: Hellenic Complex Systems Laboratory, 1993. Abstract The purpose of this note is to propose a definition and present some graphs of the entropy of the population of the strings, during the genetic search . The entropy of the population of the strings is defined on the analogy of the physical systems. The definition is based on the phenotypic probabilities of the strings. The graphs of the entropy versus the generation number show distinct patterns for each combination of selection scheme, probability for mutation, and probability for transposition. These graphs give us more information about the process of the genetic search, than the commonly used graphs of the mean and maximum fitness.

A number of biological, social, and environmental factors combine to influence smoking initiation, and NIDA-supported research suggests that genetic factors play a role in determining a smoker's susceptibility to nicotine addiction. (See " Evidence Builds That Genes Influence Cigarette Smoking ".) Now, researchers at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia and Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond have found an association between smoking initiation and variations in a gene related to the brain's serotonin system, which is involved in mood and behavior. Variation in Gene May Affect Likelihood of Smoking at Early Age Allele Combination A/A A/C C/C Distribution among smokers Age at smoking initiation (yr)
