Abstract

Leading scientists from different countries around the world contributed valuable essays on the basic applications and safety, as well as the ethical and moral considerations, of the powerful genetic engineering tools now available for modifying the molecules, pathways, and phenotypes of species of agricultural, industrial and even medical importance. After three decades of perfecting such tools, we now see a refined technology, surprisingly unexpected applications, and matured guidelines to avoid unintentional damage to our and other species, as well as the environment, while trying to contribute to solve the biological, medical and technical challenges of society and industry. Chapters on thermo-stabilization of luciferase, engineering of the phenylpropanoid pathway in a species of high demand for the paper industry, more efficient regeneration of transgenic soybean, viral resistant plants, and a novel approach for rapidly screening properties of newly discovered animal growth hormones, illustrate the state-of-the-art science and technology of genetic engineering, but also serve to raise public awareness of the pros and cons that this young scientific discipline has to offer to mankind.

Abstract

Site-specific endonucleases create double-strand breaks within the genome and can be targeted to literally any genetic mutation. Together with a repair template, a correction of the defective locus becomes possible. This book offers insight into the modern tools of genome editing, their hurdles and their huge potential. A new era of in vivo genetic engineering has begun.

Abstract

The book, while having only five chapters, covers a wide range of topics in genetic engineering of microorganisms, plants and animals. Specifically it covers both the natural and social sciences. In the natural sciences topics ranging from the genetic engineering of microorganisms to produce antibiotics, the gene targeting and transformation in plants, the generation of marker-free plants in response to biosafety concerns, as well as the generation of transgenic animals and those derived through cloning are covered. In the social sciences, the issue of ethics in biotechnology and the role of the media in reporting around the cloned sheep, Dolly are discussed.

Abstract

Mit dem Dritten Gentechnologiebericht legt die gleichnamige interdisziplinäre Arbeitsgruppe der Berlin-Brandenburgischen Akademie der Wissenschaften (BBAW) abermals ein umfassendes Monitoring zu den aktuellen Entwicklungen auf dem Gebiet der Gentechnologie vor. In bewährter interdisziplinärer Weise wird der aktuelle Stand von Wissenschaft und Technik anhand verschiedener Gebiete der Gentechnologie analysiert. Das Indikatoren-basierte Vorgehen, das in den letzten Jahren etabliert wurde, wird dabei fortgeführt. In Überblicksartikeln werden zudem sechs Themenbereiche fokussiert betracht
