Alteration of the genetic code of the targeted gene can produce mutant forms of the protein it encodes for, new RNA, and new protein products. These outcomes can lead to changes in the plant’s biochemistry and the possible production of novel allergens and toxins. Mou... by IRT News Team | Apr 24, 2022 | Scientific References 2

Originally published in GMO Science. Cancers may take decades to develop, so they are often not seen until later in life. However, childhood cancers have risen globally by 13% over the past two decades, according to the International Agency for Research on Cancer... by IRT News Team | Apr 18, 2022 | Scientific References 2
The action of the gene editing tools is not the only cause of genome disruption. The gene editing process, taken as a whole (including plant tissue culture and GM transformation procedure), induces hundreds of unintended mutations throughout the genome of the plant.... by IRT News Team | Apr 10, 2022 | Scientific References 2
Large deletions and rearrangements of the plant’s genome, which can involve thousands of base units of DNA, have been observed following CRISPR gene editing. Biswas S et al (2020). Investigation of CRISPR/Cas9-induced SD1 rice mutants highlights the importance of...
