Genetic engineering definitions

In cases where a protein is derived from a source that is not known lu be allergenic, it is not possible to predict definitively allergenic potential. While it is unlikely that a new protein that occurs in very low concentrations in food will be an allergen (as is ihe case for most proteins introduced via genetic engineering at this time), developers have taken steps to minimize... 

Beth says, You are right, they have definitely not forgotten. Few people are willing to trust the maker of Agent Orange to genetically engineer our food. ... 

Insulin is a complex protein molecule produced by the pancreas in all vertebrates. This hormone regulates carbohydrate metabolism. Inability to produce insulin results in diabetes mellitus. Diabetes is treated by injections of insulin. Given the law of definite proportion, would you expect any differences in chemical activity between human insulin extracted from pancreatic tissue and human insulin produced by genetically engineered bacteria Why or why not ... 

The main general consideration that can be stated so far is 1) the smoothness of the separations 2) the absence of cell prelabeling and 3) the development of biocompatible instrumentation, which allows subpopulation lineage to be produced, which are not only usable for fundamental studies such as differentiation pathways or apoptosis studies, but also for transplantation or genetic engineering. One must have in mind that the cell is definitively the place, home, and native localization of genes and proteins. The possibility of rapid, nondestructive separation, purification, and characterization of cells (cellulomics) opens fabulous dimensions for proteomics and genomics. 

In another aspect of this work, researchers who have smdied triple helices have synthesized oligonucleotides with reactive sites that can be positioned in definite places in DNA sequences. Such a reactive site can be used to modify or cleave DNA at a chosen point in a given sequence. This kind of specific cutting of DNA is crucial to recombinant DNA technology and to genetic engineering.
