Interview with a biologist about the prospects of genetic engineering
Alexander Panchin: "There are promising approaches for the treatment of HIV.
I think with the help of genetic engineering we will defeat this disease"
Reference:A genetically modified organism (GMO) is an organism whose genotype has been artificially altered by genetic engineering. These can be plants, animals and microorganisms. Genetic changes are usually made for scientific or economic purposes. Genetic modification is characterized by a purposeful change in the genotype of the organism, in contrast to the random, characteristic of the natural and artificial mutation process.By the way:Over the past ten years, more than one and a half thousand studies on the safety of GMOs have been published, and no conclusions have been made about their toxicity or other negative properties.
