D uring the next 25 years, world population is expected to increase by about 2.5 billion people, with most of this projected population growth expected to occur in developing countries. The food requirements in the developing world are expected to double by 2025.

Genetically engineered vaccines
Current Allergy and Asthma Reports, 2005The application of recombinant DNA technology to allergen research has provided the sequence information and genetic material to produce new types of allergy vaccines. One general strategy has been to use the knowledge to produce synthetic peptides that represent selected T-cell or B-cell epitopes.

Genetic engineering of bacilli
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. B, Biological Sciences, 1983Abstract Bacillus subtilis has emerged as a major cloning system. In this paper we analyse the vectors, vehicles and strategy for cloning. Solutions to current problems in genetic engineering including the development of standard fermentation strains are proposed.

Human Reproduction Update, 1995
Until now most research, and its funding, has been focused on animal and human health care as well as simple microbiological model systems such as Escherichia coli and yeast. Molecular plant studies have generally lagged behind, often simply adapting discoveries from the animal field to plants.

Genetically engineered probiotics
Best Practice & Research Clinical Gastroenterology, 2003Probiotic micro-organisms have been used for many years. Originating as food supplements, they are now most often administered orally and offer an attractive alternative for treating of intestinal disorders. A better understanding of the mechanisms by which these micro-organisms act has now opened up possibilities for designing new probiotic strains ...

The Problems of Genetic Engineering
Peace Review, 2000When Aldous Huxley sketched the outlines of an anti-utopian society in his 1946 classic Brave New World, some did not take his fears seriously. But his dystopian society is closer to reality today than many could imagine. Bio-utopians have now launched a techno-scientific revolution that could have immense implications for the future.

Genetically engineered kidneys
Pediatric Nephrology, 1993We review the available methods of creating genetically engineered kidneys. These include transgenic technology to introduce novel genes or delete existing genes and methods of gene transfer into the post-natal or adult kidney. The use of such technology has provided insights into renal development and growth and created new animal models of human ...

The advent of genetic engineering
Trends in Biochemical Sciences, 2001By early 1977, I had fulfilled all degree requirements and demonstrated that discrete genetic elements such as promoters, ribosome binding sites, and coding sequences, could be arranged into new and functional combinations. It was apparent that genetic engineering would be a convenient route to obtain large quantities of proteins that were commercially

The dilemma of genetic engineering
Journal of Religion & Health, 1972Throughout history, scientific and technological advancements have pre sented a dilemma to mankind. The basic problem is that advances in knowledge do not automatically define the criteria for their use. As a result, we find that nearly all of our scientific knowledge has the potential of being "good" or "bad," depending upon man's application of it ...

Genetic Engineering of Livestock
Science, 1989Genetic engineering of livestock is expected to have a major effect on the agricultural industry. However, accurate assessment of the consequences of transgene expression is impossible without multigenerational studies. A systematic study of the beneficial and adverse consequences of long-term elevations in the plasma levels of bovine growth hormone ...
