Genetic engineering is defined as manipulating the genetic material of organisms in a way that does not occur naturally. The first genetically engineered organism was bacteria in 1973. The genetic engineering process involves isolating and copying the desired genetic material, constructing a vector with the genetic elements, and inserting it into a host organism through transformation. Genetic engineering has applications in medicine, agriculture, and industry by allowing the transfer of genes between unrelated species. However, concerns have been raised about the safety and ethics of genetically modified foods, including potential health risks and environmental impacts such as gene flow into non-transgenic crops.

A Brief Introduction to Phyto-Ruminal Bioremediation
A renowned researcher in veterinarian medicine and toxicology, Doctor A. Morrie Craig is a former professor at the Oregon State University College of Veterinary Medicine and director of the school’s Endophyte Service Laboratory. Dr. Morrie Craig is the originator of the concept of phyto-ruminal-bioremediation, a topic he is slated to discuss at the 2021 International Grassland Congress in Nairobi, Kenya.
Phyto-ruminal bioremediation is a term coined by the United States Department of Agriculture to describe the combination of two processes that can remove toxins and munitions from the soil. The phyto-based component refers to the ability of grasses to extract toxins from the soil while the ruminal component refers to microorganisms from ruminants, most notably sheep, that can biodegrade toxins in the soil.
About 15 percent of munitions remain nonoxidized and persist as toxic residue in the soil even after decades. This has been demonstrated in Kuwait’s desert and World War II sites in Egypt. Phyto-ruminal bioremediation may revitalize soil affected by munitions for both animal and food production. Combining both approaches makes restoring land faster and safer.
Biodiversityyy,its types,what is biodiversity,how to preserve biodiversity,i...
For the past two decades, an increasing number of studies have focused and been published on biodiversity. This is principally due to the fact that the world’s flora and fauna are disappearing at rates greater than the historical mass extinction events (Chapin III et al., 2001). As recently suggested by Thomas et al. (2004), there is an 18% to 40% risk of species-level extinction resulting majorly from global warming and drastic change happening in the climatic conditions. Moreover, other processes such as agricultural expansion, for example, in response to an increasing demand for food have a negative impact on biodiversity as a result of habitat destruction (Tilman et al., 2001).

Mixed species cover crops of winter rye and hairy vetch tended to increase tomato biomass and suppress plant diseases compared to single species cover crops. The study aimed to compare the effects of mixed and single species cover crops on tomato biomass and disease suppression. Preliminary results found that tomato plants grown in soil with previous mixed hay cover crops had higher fresh shoot biomass. Tomato plants from soil with a previous winter rye and hairy vetch mix also tended to show less disease symptoms, significantly in one-third of fields tested. Optimization of screening methods identified potential disease-suppressing bacteria in the plant rhizosphere.
Antibiotics and their Resistance Gene Path to Humans
The document discusses the origin and evolution of class 1 integrons, which are genetic elements that play a key role in the spread of antibiotic resistance. It finds that class 1 integrons were originally present in the chromosomes of non-pathogenic soil and freshwater bacteria. Exposure to antibiotics through human activities exerted strong selective pressure that led to the transfer and fixation of class 1 integrons in human pathogens, driving the global rise of antibiotic resistance.

3. The first licensed human vaccine may combine plant and insect cell approaches for a cancer therapeutic, demonstrating the potential of plant-made pharmaceuticals.
SYNTHETIC BIOLOGY: Putting engineering into biology | Presented by Pranjali ...
This document provides an overview of synthetic biology. It defines synthetic biology as designing and constructing new biological parts, devices, and systems, such as genes and cells. The key principles of synthetic biology are abstraction, modularity, standardization, and design/modeling. Case studies describe engineering maize plants to produce higher levels of carotenoids to combat vitamin A deficiency and using transgenic corn to deliver carotenoids to chickens to reduce the impacts of coccidiosis. While synthetic biology has potential applications, it also carries risks such as the accidental release of harmful organisms.
Biological control of the post harvest diseases of fruits.
what is post harvest disease. Simply , Postharvest diseases are those that appear and develop after harvest. Here theses are some pictures of post harvest diseases.
Fig 01- cherry fruit rot caused by Alternaria sp.
Fig 02- mango stem end rots causative agent is Dotheiorella sp.
All postharvest diseases of fruit are caused by fungi and bacteria.
viral infections present before harvest can sometimes develop more rapidly after harvest. In general, however, viruses are not an important cause of postharvest disease. Postharvest diseases are often classified according to how infection is initiated. The so-called 'quiescent' or 'latent' infections are those where the pathogen initiates infection of the host at some point in time , but then enters a period of inactivity or dormancy until the physiological status of the host tissue changes in such a way that infection can proceed.
After The dramatic physiological changes like compositional changes physiological changes which occur during fruit ripening are often the trigger for reactivation of latent infections. It can be through direct penetration through skin, natural openings & injuries . injuries can be mechanical or caused by insects. Therefore, post harvest diseases can be arised during or after harvest.After harvest in the dramatically physiological changes like compositional changes physiological changes which occur during the fruit ripening of in triger for reactivation of the latent infection.
And also many of the physiological changes also triggers the reactivation of the latent infection mainly both the losses conditions can lead to the fungal infection because fungi are optimum at the dry conditions after that ethylene production fruit ripening cannot so it causes a lot of compositional changes in the sugar content and physiological changes in the fruit it soften the fruit covering and then it can be easily the damage so through the damage microorganisms can enter the fruits and grow inside and multiplication then causes postharvest diseases

1) The document discusses the issue of genetically modifying human embryos to eliminate genetic defects or introduce desired traits, known as "designer babies."
2) It explores how advances in gene therapy and CRISPR technology allow for precise editing of DNA, and how Chinese scientists have successfully spliced 28 human embryos.
3) However, designing babies raises serious ethical concerns about creating genetic superiority, increasing social disparities, and potentially harmful unintended consequences of gene editing on human embryos. More research is still needed to address these issues before moving forward with genetic enhancement of humans.
Huntington Modifier Gene Research Paper
This summary provides the key points from the document in 3 sentences:
The document discusses Huntington's disease, a fatal genetic disorder caused by a mutated huntingtin gene. It explores potential genetic modifier genes that can influence the pathogenesis and symptoms of Huntington's disease, such as genes involved in DNA mismatch repair and the PPARGC1a gene. Identifying these modifier genes may help develop new therapeutic strategies to reduce the destructive effects of Huntington's disease.
Bioinfo Project
The document summarizes research into intrinsic disorder in hemoglobin subunits and its potential role in sickle cell anemia. It finds that the alpha, beta, delta, and epsilon subunits appear to contain a similar intrinsically disordered region in the middle of the protein sequence, as predicted by GlobProt2. The gamma subunit contains two disordered regions, one at the beginning and one at the end. This differs from the other subunits and could explain why sickle cell anemia more severely affects embryonic development when the gamma subunit is present. The epsilon subunit may also contain a disordered region influencing residues before it in the sequence. Overall, intrinsic disorder could impact sickle cell disease progression but requires further investigation.
Stem celldaeun
The document discusses stem cell research, including what stem cells are, their potential benefits for treating diseases, and their limitations and ethical issues. It describes how stem cells can differentiate into many cell types and have potential to treat conditions like spinal cord injuries. However, stem cell research also faces ethical concerns around using embryonic stem cells as well as political issues that have limited government funding of certain research.
Gene therapy
Gene therapy is a technique that modifies a genome to treat disease. It works by inserting, eliminating, or modifying genes that cause illness. Diseases like cancer and hemophilia can be treated through gene therapy. Hemophilia is caused by a genetic disorder preventing blood from clotting, which can lead to dangerous bleeding. Gene therapy aims to deliver a corrected copy of the defective clotting factor gene to treat hemophilia. While results are not definitive, gene therapy shows promise for curing hemophilia and represents an important medical advancement, even if there are still limitations like potential side effects.

Essay 5- Mental
1) Schizophrenia is a mental disorder characterized by auditory hallucinations, delusional thoughts, and emotional changes. A major identifiable cause is a heritable genetic component.
2) Research has found links between specific genes and schizophrenia, as well as higher likelihood of developing the disorder in closer relatives.
3) Studying endophenotypes, or heritable biomarkers related to but not specific to the illness, may help identify genetic causes and allow research on a smaller scale prior to full diagnosis. This could help advance understanding and potential prevention of schizophrenia.
Catalase simon
Simon Sohn conducted an experiment to test the effect of hydrogen peroxide concentration on the rate of a catalase reaction. He hypothesized that a higher hydrogen peroxide concentration would result in a faster reaction rate and more oxygen production. The experiment involved measuring oxygen production over 1 minute for 3 concentrations of hydrogen peroxide (0.5%, 1%, 1.5%) using a constant amount of liver. The results supported the hypothesis, showing more oxygen produced with increasing concentration. However, the experiment could be improved by standardizing the liver sample size and ensuring it fully submerged in the hydrogen peroxide.

PSY209 Research Paper
Huntington's disease is a genetic neurodegenerative disorder that causes motor and cognitive decline. While it is known for disrupting motor skills, it also significantly impacts cognitive abilities and can cause dementia. There are two types of Huntington's disease-associated dementia - cortical and subcortical. Subcortical dementia affects areas below the cortex and leads to motor impairments, while cortical dementia impacts functions like memory, language, and perception. Cognitive testing can help diagnose dementia early to allow for mental stimulation activities that may help slow progression. Currently there are no treatments to stop or cure cognitive decline from Huntington's disease.
Huntington's
Huntington's disease is an inherited neurological disorder that damages nerve cells in the brain and affects movement, cognition, and behavior.

The term biotechnology represents a fusion or an alliance between biology and technology. Biotechnology is as old as human civilization and is an integral part of human life. There are records that wine and beer were prepared in as early as 600 B.C. bread and curd in 4000 B.C. The term biotechnology was introduced in 1917 by Hungarian engineer, Karl Ereky.
It concerns with the exploitation of biological agents or their components for generating useful products / services. The area covered under biotechnology is very vast and the techniques involved are highly divergent.
Austbioattitude2010
The Australian public has continued to strongly support biotechnologies that provide health or environmental benefits, but their support for genetically modified (GM) foods has dropped slightly since 2007. Key findings from the survey include:
- The application most frequently considered risky was using genetic modification in pest control, while medical uses like stem cells were seen as most useful.
- Long-term evidence of safety and descriptive labelling were the top factors that could increase acceptance of GM foods among non-acceptors.
- Making plants drought resistant and able to grow in salty soils were seen as the most valuable objectives of genetic modification.
- Awareness of which crops are genetically modified in their own state was low.

Current Trends of the UPSC (IAS) Preliminary Exam
Colossal dynamism – The Preliminary exam has evolved from a merely memory-based exam to an application-based exam, demanding extensive coverage of current events and their inter linkage with the breadth of static knowledge an aspirant is expected to have.
Moreover, in recent years UPSC (IAS) Preliminary Exam in particular, has become increasingly unpredictable – every year there's an enormous variation in the proportions of static vs. dynamic questions.
However, mere extensive reading from various sources, one soon finds out, is not the solution. For there is no limit to the information available, and none can restrict the scope of UPSC (IAS) Preliminary Exam.
This shows the relative toughness of the Preliminary stage (success ratio of 3:100) vis-à-vis Mains (1:5) and the Interview (1:3).

Genetic engineering by vvr ias
- 1. Genetic Engineering Definition Genetic engineering is defined as the human manipulation of organism genetic material in such a way that does not occur under normal circumstances. Though, it include the use of DNA techniques but does not include the use of traditional animal or plant breeding process. Thus any organism that is generated by this technique is termed as a "Genetically Modified Organism"/ The first organism which was genetically engineered was bacteria in 1973. Process In the first step of this multi-stage process, isolation and copy of the desired genetic material is done. Then a construct is built bearing all the genetic elements, which is then inserted into the host organism, either by infection or through a vector, and this process is known as "transformation". Application of Genetic Engineering a) Human Application: Genetic engineering has its application in medicinal research, agriculture & industries and it can be used on a wide range of plants, animals & micro organisms. It is being used to study cancer, immune related diseases, obesity, diabetes etc. Also it is a important tool for natural scientist. Genes & other genetic information form a wide range of organisms are converted into bacteria & storage & modification. b) Agricultural Application: The genetic engineering of agricultural crops can increase the agricultural productivity & resistance against various pathogens & parasites. These modified crops would also reduce the usage of chemical fertilisers and pesticides, thereby decreasing the damage caused by chemical. Concern related to Genetic Engineering Recently some safety & ethics related concerns are being raised around the world regarding the use of genetically modified food items. Also, issues related to human health implications of eating genetically modified food, particularly about allergic reactions are in new. Apart from this, Gene flow into related non-transgenic crops, effect on beneficial organisms and negative impact in food-chain & biodiversity are some other important matter of concern related to Genetic Engineering.
