So, GE crops have been primarily engineered not for any increased nutritional value or consumer benefit, but to make it easier to control certain insects and spray herbicides on growing crops, killing weeds but leaving the genetically transformed crops unharmed.
Some have been engineered for better absorption.
It should be engineered for that.
The rest of the 15-person team, primarily engineers (save for one new hire), has backgrounds that include experience at ShopperTrak, IBM, Ariba, TIBCO/Reuters, Google, Playdom, Qualcomm, 23AndMe and Mint/Intuit.
By contrast, a recent publication by Ellis and colleagues highlights potential anti-carcinogenic uses for plants genetically engineered primarily for detoxification of selenium-polluted soils and sediments.
ARM employs 1,600 people, primarily engineers, at its base at present.
CK: Producer, writer, and primarily engineer, working with the old 78s to begin with.
RNA is an important drug target, but current approaches to identify bioactive small molecules have been engineered primarily for protein targets.
Humans have genetically engineered seeds for 11,000 years, primarily through seed breeding, where we "got rid of" the traits we didn't want and introduced the traits we did.
Early companies such as Genentech, Amgen, Biogen, Cetus, and Genex began by manufacturing genetically engineered substances primarily for medical and environmental uses.
