Perhaps the most famous examples are food crops like soy and corn that have been genetically modified for pest and herbicide resistance. These crops are widely known as âGMOsâ (genetically modified organisms). Here are few other examples of transgenic organisms with commercial value:
When food-crops are genetically modified, (genetically modified food is a misnomer!) one or more genes are incorporated into the crop's genome using a vector containing several other genes, including as a minimum, viral promoters, transcription terminators, antibiotic resistance marker genes and reporter genes. Publications on GM food toxicity are scarce. 2  An article in Science magazine said it all: Health Risks of Genetically Modified Foods: Many Opinions but Few Data.1 In fact, no peer-reviewed publications of clinical studies on the human health effects of GM food exist. 3  Even animal studies are few and far between.
