2 исследования?! Вы чертовски внимательны. :D

И что, всего два исследования на тему ГМО? Тема пользуется общественным интересом, а по ней всего две статьи: за 2006 и 2007 года, от одних авторов, да ктомуже на английском только абстракт(( сама статья на .... японском.... я так понимаю...... поскольку организации, где трудяться авторы, находяться в Японии. Так же не понятно что это за журнал в котором опубликованы результаты.

Пожалуй так. Но по крайней мере у нас отменили дивную и ничего не говорящую надпись "Без ГМО" на всех подходящих и неподходящих продуктах питания. начиная от конфет и заканчивая рыбными консервами.

А что за растение в самом конце показали?)) Трансгенная трава?

Елена11, ok, не буду больше. скажу просто ЕЛЕНА ВЫ ЗАЕБАЛИ!

Слова в моих комментариях не должны отражать ту смысловую нагрузку, которую Вы выдумали на пару с "академиком" Левашовым. Термины я употребляю по делу и к месту, а кто-то нагло врёт:
* что гены состоят из трёх нуклеотидов;
* что никто не знает, что это такое (ну конечно, что-то извлекают, вставляют, но не знают что)
* что никто не знает, что такое жизнь и живая материя (создатели искусственных живых протоклеток не знают, что такое жизнь)
* что вирусы и молекула ДНК не наблюдаются под микроскопом.

Этому человеку не стыдно писать такие глупости и с наглость утверждать, что так считают любые генетики-специалисты.

GMO_and_SAFETY, словоблудие означает вольное использование слов в продажных целях, не учитывая их смысловой нагрузки, что и наблюдается в Ваших комментариях.

Вы не словоблудьте.

Шпокунь, так не словоблудьте!

Исходное сообщение Елена11
Словоблудие - опасное заболевание.

я про это.

Шпокунь, я не поняла одного, что Вы подразумеваете под словом "это".
Я имела ввиду Вашу картинку, а Вы.

Поскольку проверка безопасности ГМО и «трансгенных» продуктов, в основном, проводится на средства их производителей, то часто исследования по безопасности ГМО являются некорректными и необъективными. Возможно, именно поэтому предостережения некоторых ученых «не слышат» или «не хотят слышать».

It provides evidence that there is less chance of unexpected changes with transgenic manipulation than is offered by conventional breeding which has the chance of making a lot of random or unanticipated genetic change.

Mouldy grains is one of the major hazards of cereal foods. It is a real safety issue particularly to people in Central America, Africa, and northern China who rely on maize for their staple food. There is ample proof that maize mould toxins or mycotoxins such as fumonisin harm people. In this case the main risk is using non-genetically modified maize instead of BT insect protected maize. Insect damage makes corn more susceptible to mouldyness and increased toxin content.

A companion paper in the same Journal by Kuiper and others ( listed here) explained that the problems with this study. But it was the cause of great controversy about the disputed safety of genetically modified food. The different varieties per potato went through in vitro culture, meaning they could have suffered mutations which occur at a relatively high frequency is that technique is not carried out in an optimum fashion.

Precision of genetic engineering is important in ensuring that unexpected changes do not occur. Greater precision is an assurance of greater safety because it means that unexpected hazardous events have less chance of happening

Dipartimento di Scienze Morfologico-Biomediche, Sezione di Anatomia e Istologia, University of Verona, strada Le Grazie 8, 37134, Verona, Italy, The major defect in the study is failure to analyse the composition of the two different soybean strains used in the study. Soybeans are known to produce potent oestrogen compounds, and variability in the levels of these phytochemicals causes differences in rodent behaviour. Malatesta has carried out a whole series of studies that suffer from the same defect, but they been published in journals in which that kind of expertise is unfortunately absent from the editorial board. Malatesta should have read :
Brown NM and Setchell KDR (2001). Animal models impacted by phytoestrogens in commercial chow: implications for pathways influenced by hormones. Laboratory Investigation 81:735–747. "All investigators should be vigilant to the phytoestrogen composition of commercial rodent diets because there is a history of potent biological effects in larger animals and humans from high circulating isoflavone concentrations"
Thigpen JE and others (2004). Selecting the appropriate rodent diet for endocrine disruptor research and testing studies. ILAR Journal. 45:401-416. Rodent diets differ significantly in estrogen activity primarily due to large variations in phytoestrogen content.These estrogens can profoundly influence rodent physiology. .

We thank Tamara Stelzl, Inge Celler, Christine Fochtmann, and Robert Gossmann for technical assistance. We are indebted to the staff of the Bavarian State Research Center for Agriculture for organization, logistics, and technical assistance during the feeding experiments. This addresses the digestibility of an insect detection protein which is believed to be an indicator of allergenicity risk. Risks of allergenicity are one of the major concerns raised by people who are worried about the safety of genetically engineered food

Targeted chemical analysis of the known compounds that can have effects such as endocrine disruption or nutritional enhancement is perhaps the most practical and powerful way to assess food safety. The European Food Safety Authority for example highlights the importance of this approach. This is what this paper is about.

This is a systematic study of the compositional changes that may or may not occur in several transgenic crops. It found that there was no significant change when a transgene is introduced into wheat corn and tomato. This is detailed chemical analysis to assure that untoward the unexpected changes have not occurred.

Again this is another search for unexpected changes by comprehensive analysis. One of many papers providing assurance that the statement that genetic engineering is a precise technique is an objective one based on evidence not theory. Precision means that there is a greater assurance that unexpected genetic or chemical changes did not occur.

One of the concerns about genetically modified crops is that the DNA at the site of transgene insertion may be rearranged. This is a paper that addresses transgene structure near the site of DNA insertion. It is worth noting that is natural mutations caused by mobile gene insertion is cause mutations in field crops such as soybean, and that mutations generated by ionising radiation cause dramatic changes in chromosome structure similar to the ones assessed here. These latter processes are not subject to the same vigourous analysis as transgenic crops. Further study itself provides an example of the greater scrutiny given to genetically engineered crops than conventional varieties, meaning that they have a greater standard of safety assurance.

Comprehensive chemical analysis can keep track of what happens when a transgenic crop is made particularly unexpected changes. Thus Proteomics is one of the important modern tools for safety assurance with transgenic and other crops. It actually showing that there is a huge amount of unexpected change occurring in almost all varieties of crop. Other people would call that change biodiversity and say it's a good thing.

Очень опасное. Примеры словоблудия:
* Так и саму молекулу ДНК никто ни разу не наблюдал.
* Это модель больного воображения.
* Любому специалисту-генетику известно, что ген состоит из трёх нуклеотидов.
* Вирус не видим под микроскопом, его строение "угадали" так же, как и строение молекулы ДНК.

Цитирую: "Так и саму молекулу ДНК никто ни разу не наблюдал". По запросу - изображения самой молекулы. Изображения, сделанные конкретно тем микроскопом - это не ко мне, а к разработчикам. Сильно надо? Свяжитесь, может у них есть фотографии.

Елена11, я рада, что вы наконец это поняли\1!!!

Это не изображение молекулы ДНК. Это модель больного воображения.

Опять посыл в Гугль? Хорошо, смотрим:

Перед нами изображение нити ДНК, но не изображение самой молекулярной структуры. Где же хваленое изображение молекулы ДНК? Опять расчёт на идиотов?
Куда уходят деньги налогоплательщиков?

Словоблудие - опасное заболевание.

"DNA under an electron microscope" + "Google".

Елена11, а хотите! я вам еще сказку расскажу! Из ДНК мона даже складывать фигурки и коробочки, возможно синтезтировать гены...извлекать ДНК из клетки,делать ПЦР...
но саму ДНК никто никогда не видел...это нечто 8)
ЕЩе говорят что она состоит из генов,но никто тоже не знает что это!!!!
тока никому не говорить,окей?

Цитата:"С помощью нового микроскопа удалось получить изображения молекул в воздухе".
Ну и где можно посмотреть изображение?
