Enzymes are not alive themselves but are complex chemical catalysts. Genetic engineering is one of the techniques in modern biotechnology, which directly modifies the power of DNA molecule. The protein molecules, such as, monoclonal antibodies have amazing ability of active even at low concentrations. DNA probes are, another technique being now identified not only to speciality animal hairs but also for other natural fibres like cotton. Applications of biosensitive materials into textiles are mainly used to produce intelligent filter media, smart textiles, and protective clothing. Fibre, fabric preparation and finishing are the other important areas where biotechnology can be widely used. Treatment of silk-cellulosic blend is claimed to produce some unique effects. Microbial processes have been used to treat the effluent comes out from the textile industry. The development based on a 3D-biomat of knitted polyester monofilament is used as a support for the microorganism.

Jewish Law - Commentary/Opinion
Commentary from the Jewish Law (journal) site that deals with questions that Judaism raises in connection with the human genome project
http://www.jlaw.com/Commentary/genome.html

Extractions: Judaism and the Human Genome Project by Richard Greenberg "Today," President Clinton declared at a recent White House ceremony, "we are learning the language in which God created life." No, he didn't mean Hebrew, although that would have been a nice touch. Clinton was referring to the human genome, the multi-billion-letter "operating manual" for homo sapiens that scientists have finally deciphered surely the most eagerly awaited literary release this side of Harry Potter. This cracking of the genetic code promises to revolutionize medicine, but it also raises a host of moral and ethical questions that Judaism speaks to. The genome, for example, will no doubt help us better understand human behavior-and misbehavior-by identifying its genetic components. Consider where that might take us. Fast-forward to the year 2015: Is it farfetched to imagine, say, enterprising defense attorneys concocting "genetic defenses" for their clients? Judaism wouldn't buy it. Our tradition maintains that biology is not destiny, and therefore holds people accountable for their actions-whether or not they have whatever syndrome is momentarily fashionable. There are legitimate mitigating factors, of course, such as mental incompetence, but Judaism otherwise consistently affirms the ability of people to exercise their free will and make moral choices. In fact, in general the Talmud says a person is always liable for his actions, whether awake or asleep. Unfortunately, Judaism's position runs counter to a growing societal tendency to diminish personal accountability, often using medical or psychological "explanations" to excuse evil deeds. Does the term "Twinkie defense" ring a bell? That argument was used in a celebrated 1978 case by an attorney who maintained that his client was driven to commit murder by his addiction to junk food.

What Is Genetic Engineering? Definition From WhatIs.com - See Also: Genetic Modi
Genetic engineering is the deliberate, controlled manipulation of the genes in an organism, with the intent of making that organism better in some way.
http://whatis.techtarget.com/definition/0,,sid9_gci1110323,00.html

Extractions: A B C D ... Computing Fundamentals Genetic engineering is the deliberate, controlled manipulation of the genes in an organism with the intent of making that organism better in some way. This is usually done independently of the natural reproductive process. The result is a so-called genetically modified organism (GMO). To date, most of the effort in genetic engineering has been focused on agriculture. Proponents of genetic engineering claim that it has numerous benefits, including the production of food-bearing plants that are resistant to extreme weather and adverse climates, insect infestations, disease, molds, and fungi. In addition, it may be possible to reduce the amount of plowing necessary in the farming process, thereby saving energy and minimizing soil erosion. A major motivation is the hope of producing abundant food at low cost to reduce world hunger, both directly (by feeding GMOs to human beings) and indirectly (by feeding GMOs to livestock and fish, which can in turn be fed to humans). Genetic engineering carries potential dangers, such as the creation of new allergens and toxins, the evolution of new weeds and other noxious vegetation, harm to wildlife, and the creation of environments favorable to the proliferation of molds and fungi (ironically, in light of the purported advantage in that respect). Some scientists have expressed concern that new disease organisms and increased antibiotic resistance could result from the use of GMOs in the food chain.
Keep Maine Free From Genetically Engineered Crops
State wide coalition introducing a bill calling for the moratorium on growing genetically engineered crops throughout the state of Maine.
http://www.keepmainefree.org/

Extractions: Action Alert for February 25, 2004 The USDA is currently seeking public comments as it reevaluates its genetic engineering regulations. This review comes at a time when recent research highlights the risks and pervasiveness of contamination of conventional crops with genetically engineered (GE) traits. A National Academy of Sciences report found that containment of GE crops could not be guaranteed under the present system, and that the spread of genes from GE plants poses potential environmental harm. In addition, a report published just this week by the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS) found widespread contamination of conventional seeds with GE contaminants. Instead of seeking to control the contamination of the food supply, USDA is considering tolerating the presence of transgenic DNA in conventional varieties of seed. This could result in the agency skipping any human health and environmental review of these GE varieties before they end up in the food supply. To make matters worse, some of the GE contaminants could come from plants engineered to produce pharmaceutical drugs and industrial chemicals, products never intended for the human food supply.

Genetic Engineering Network
The UK Genetic Engineering Network (GEN) is an information sharing network for anyone actively campaigning against genetic engineering.
http://www.geneticsaction.org.uk/

Extractions: The Genetic Engineering Network is a network of people opposed to the imposition of GM technology. All over the world, people are campaigning against genetically modified food, human and animal genetic engineering, and the bio-tech companies who are increasing their control over our lives and our environment. GEN includes local campaign and action groups NGOs, direct activists, and individuals campaigning against genetic engineering. The movement is diverse, exciting and growing all the time. GEN aims to support, link and publicise all parts of it. 2004: After GM Food - here comes Nano Food! Genetix Update On 09/11/04 Bayer CropScience removed the last 2 GM crop varieties still in the approval process for the UK national seed list. This is the final nail in the coffin for the commercial growing of the first generation of GM crops in the UK. Since 1994 58 different GM crop varieties have begun the process to be included on the UK national seed list and so be available for commercial growing. All 58 applications have now been abandoned.
[Regents Prep Living Environment] Heredity & Genetics: Genetic Engineering
Welcome to the Living Environment section of the New York State High School Regents Exam Prep Center!
http://regentsprep.org/Regents/biology/units/heredity/engineering.cfm

Extractions: For thousands of years new varieties of cultivated plants and domestic animals have resulted from selective breeding for particular traits. Some selective breeding techniques include artificial selection , where individuals with desirable traits are mated to produce offspring with those traits. A variation of this process traditionally used in agriculture is inbreeding , where the offspring produced by artificial selection are mated with one another to reinforce those desirable traits. Hybridization is a special case of selective breeding. This involves crossing two individuals with different desirable traits to produce offspring with a combination of both desirable traits. An example of this are Santa Gertrudis cattle, which were developed by breeding English shorthorn cattle, which provided for good beef, but lacked heat resistance, with Brahman cattle from India which were highly resistant to heat and humidity. The Santa Gertrudis breed of cattle has excellent beef, and thrives in hot, humid environments.

http://www.biologymad.com/GeneticEngineering/GeneticEngineering.htm

Extractions: [back to top] Genetic engineering, also known as recombinant DNA technology , means altering the genes in a living organism to produce a Genetically Modified Organism (GMO) with a new genotype. Various kinds of genetic modification are possible: inserting a foreign gene from one species into another, forming a transgenic organism ; altering an existing gene so that its product is changed; or changing gene expression so that it is translated more often or not at all. Genetic engineering is a very young discipline, and is only possible due to the development of techniques from the 1960s onwards. Watson and Crick have made these techniques possible from our greater understanding of DNA and how it functions following the discovery of its structure in 1953. Although the final goal of genetic engineering is usually the expression of a gene in a host, in fact most of the techniques and time in genetic engineering are spent isolating a gene and then cloning it. This table lists the techniques that we shall look at in detail.
Genetic Engineering In Agriculture
A virtual book about applications of genetic engineering in agriculture,and about the movement trying to discredit it.
http://members.tripod.com/c_rader0/gemod.htm

Extractions: Charles M. Rader This report is about two closely related subjects. One subject is the considerations for and against genetic engineering of our food. This part of the report will quickly reveal my personal bias in favor of engineering, but I have tried to fairly represent the problems as well as the benefits. The other topic is more important. Genetic engineering gets to the very core of how life works and people are inclined to have very strong feelings about it. Because the public knows so very little about science, some opponents of transgenic agriculture have been able to spread misinformation and manipulate public opinion. As Donna Shalala told a group of scientists, speaking about genetic engineering, ``My concern is if we don't have a broadly educated public ... that charlatans out there will be able to play on public fears.'' Exactly that has happened. Almost everything the general public has been told about genetic engineering of food has originated in the deceptive presentations by skilled propagandists.
