Since the dawn of man we have desired control over our surroundings. Now in the year 2006 complete control over the human construct is within reach. Bioengineering is the key to that control, also known as synthetic biology, it's the artificial creation of DNA, genes and cells that mimic, or surpa....

Genetic Engineering in Corn Plants
Genetic engineering is the direct manipulation of an organisms genes. Bt maize (corn) was created with the goal of created a maize plant that was insect resistant in the above-ground portions of the plant. The major pest to corn plants is the European Corn Borer, Ostrinia nubilalis. Maize has ....

Genetic Screening
There is huge diversity in many features found in the human race - skin colour, size, intellectual and athletic abilities. This variation has arisen largely due to changes in the DNA determining these features. We are all different because of these differences in DNA. Any change in our genes or DNA ....
