  2. Nutritional genomics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nutritional_genomics

    Nutritional genomics, also known as nutrigenomics, is a science studying the relationship between human genome, human nutrition and health. People in the field work toward developing an understanding of how the whole body responds to a food via systems biology, as well as single gene/single food compound relationships.

  3. Gene drive - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gene_drive

    A gene drive is a natural process [1] and technology of genetic engineering that propagates a particular suite of genes throughout a population [2] ...

  4. Genetically modified food - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetically_modified_food

    Creating genetically modified food is a multi-step process. The first step is to identify a useful gene from another organism that you would like to add. The gene can be taken from a cell [72] or artificially synthesised, [73] and then combined with other genetic elements, including a promoter and terminator region and a selectable marker. [74]

  5. Genetically modified tomato - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetically_modified_tomato

    When the antisense gene is expressed, it interferes with the production of the polygalacturonase enzyme, delaying the ripening process. The Flavr Savr failed to achieve commercial success and was withdrawn from the market in 1997. Similar technology, but using a truncated version of the polygalacturonase gene, was used to make a tomato paste. [8]

  6. Nutriepigenomics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nutriepigenomics

    Nutriepigenomics is the study of food nutrients and their effects on human health through epigenetic modifications. There is now considerable evidence that nutritional imbalances during gestation and lactation are linked to non-communicable diseases, such as obesity, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, hypertension, and cancer.

  7. Daisy chaining DNA - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daisy_chaining_DNA

    Daisy chaining DNA is a form of gene editing, or "gene drive", which, unlike CRISPR, is self-limiting. This means that any alteration made in the laboratory to a gene sequence is limited to a local population only, and cannot be passed on to global populations. It occurs when DNA undergoing PCR amplification forms tangles that resemble a 'daisy ...

  8. Genetically modified rice - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetically_modified_rice

    Genetically modified rice are rice strains that have been genetically modified (also called genetic engineering).Rice plants have been modified to increase micronutrients such as vitamin A, accelerate photosynthesis, tolerate herbicides, resist pests, increase grain size, generate nutrients, flavors or produce human proteins.

  9. Nutritional epigenetics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nutritional_epigenetics

    Nutritional epigenetics is a science that studies the effects of nutrition on gene expression and chromatin accessibility. [1] [2] It is a subcategory of nutritional genomics that focuses on the effects of bioactive food components on epigenetic events. [3]
