The Genome Age: Detecting Transgenes in Genetically Modified Food

field crops

Capitalize on students’ interest in forensic science as they use polymerase chain reaction to detect foreign genes in important food plants. Molecular genetic techniques have been used to add transgenes into the genomes of a number of important food plants, and these foreign genes can be readily detected using polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The experiment […]
