WHAT IS GENETIC
ENGINEERING?
* It is a TECHNIQUE
used to *ALTER or MOVE GENETIC
MATERIAL(Genes)of LIVING CELLS
WHAT IS GMO? • A Genetically modified
organism (GMO) is any organism
whose genetic material has been
altered using genetic
engineering techniques (i.e., a
genetically engineered organism)
THE TERM “GMO”
• The term GMO is very close to
the technical legal term, 'living modified
organism', defined in the Cartagena
Protocol on Biosafety, which regulates
international trade in living GMOs
(specifically, "any living organism that
possesses a novel combination of genetic
material obtained through the use of
modern biotechnology").
THE FIRST GMO
• The first genetically modified mouse was in 1973,
The first plant was produced in 1983.
HISTORY
OF
GENETICALLY MODIFIED
ORGANISMS
• Herbert Boyer and Stanley Cohen made the first genetically modified organism (GMO) in 1973.
They took a gene from a bacterium that provided resistance to the antibiotic kanamycin,
inserted it into a plasmid and then induced another bacteria to uptake the plasmid. The bacteria
was then able to survive in the presence of kanamycin.[12] Boyer and Cohen expressed other
genes in bacteria. This included genes from the toad Xenopus laevisin 1974, creating the first
GMO expressing a gene from an organism from different kingdom.[13]
PRODUCTION
•Genetic modification involves the
mutation, insertion, or deletion of genes.
Inserted genes usually come from a
different species in a form of horizontal
gene-transfer. In nature this can occur
when exogenous DNA penetrates the cell
membrane for any reason. This can be
•Attaching the genes to a virus.
•Physically inserting the extra DNA into the nucleus of the
intended host with a very small syringe.
•Using electroporation (that is, introducing DNA from one
organism into the cell of another by use of an electric pulse).
•Firing small particles from a gene gun.
GENETIC MODIFICATION CAN BE
DONE IN
ANIMALS
RUDOLPH JAENISCH
IN 1973 RUDOLF JAENISCH CREATED
A TRANSGENIC MOUSE BY INTRODUCING
FOREIGN DNA INTO ITS EMBRYO,
MAKING IT THE WORLD’S FIRST
TRANSGENIC ANIMAL. HOWEVER IT
TOOK ANOTHER EIGHT YEARS BEFORE
TRANSGENIC MICE WERE DEVELOPED
THAT PASSED THE TRANSGENE TO THEIR
OFFSPRING.[15][16] GENETICALLY
MODIFIED MICE WERE CREATED IN 1984
THAT CARRIED CLONED ONCOGENES,
PREDISPOSED THEM TO DEVELOPING
CANCER.[17] MICE WITH GENES KNOCKED
OUT (KNOCKOUT MOUSE) WERE
CREATED IN 1989. THE FIRST
TRANSGENIC LIVESTOCK WERE
PRODUCED IN 1985[18] AND THE FIRST
ANIMAL TO SYNTHESISE TRANSGENIC
PROTEINS IN THEIR MILK WERE
MICE,[19] ENGINEERED TO PRODUCE
HUMAN TISSUE PLASMINOGEN
ACTIVATOR IN 1987.[20]

GMO-POLITICS
• If the Americans like to eat GMO products, let them
eat it then. We don’t need to do that; we have
enough space and opportunities to produce organic
food.

ADVANTAGES OF GMO
•Gmo plants….
• Used to get rid of virus
• Eg., papaya --- papaya ring spot virus
• Fungal diseases
• pathogen derived resisant
•Gmo animals/mammals…..
• to research human diseases (for example, to develop animal models for these diseases);
• to produce industrial or consumer products (fibres for multiple uses);
• to produce products intended for human therapeutic use (pharmaceutical products or tissue
implantation);
• to enrich or enhance the animals' interactions with humans (hypo-allergenic pets);
• to enhance production or food quality traits (faster growing fish, pigs that digest food more
efficiently);
• to improve animal health (disease resistance)[76]
