This document discusses genetic engineering and genetically modified foods. It provides information on the process of genetic engineering, including how transgenes are inserted into organisms using vectors like plasmids and viruses. It also outlines some applications of genetic engineering in medical, industrial and agricultural fields. The document discusses both benefits and risks of genetically modified crops, and considers labeling systems for genetically modified foods.
