Application of RDNA Technology

This genetically engineered rice is capable of producing and storing beta carotene in the endosperm of its grains.

This enzyme is under-expressed in FLAVR SAVR tomatoes to delay their ripening.

These genetically modified animals, examples of which include cow and sheep, are recipients of human genes to allow them to produce therapeutic proteins in their milk.

This fish is the source of the promoter sequence that regulates the expression of

the growth hormone gene introduced in AquAdvantage salmon.

This process refers to the use of microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi to

process and remove contaminants from the environment.

This bacterial species is the first organism to be genetically engineered to produce insulin for patients who are affected with type 1 diabetes.

This viral strain is important in introducing a normal clotting factor gene to a

hemophilic individual.

These genetic diseases do not show symptoms early in the life of an affected

individual, rather symptoms will show at a later stage in his or her life.

This potential threat of genetically modified organisms involves the direct transfer

of genetic material between organisms through natural mechanisms.

This company first secured a licensed and marketed insulin from recombinant

DNA technology in 1982.
