genesis and is at the next generation and the business to top about all that and more i'm joined by james shapiro a professor of microbiology at the university of chicago james thank you for joining me. were there. first of all new genesis is a complex process to understand can you top a little bit about how it works and how we really differs from the way gm owes or modified. moody's is going to make this clear mutation which is acquiring genetic changes. as a natural process organisms. most of the dna may do so. especially when they're under stress. the key to evolution. you genesis is treating organisms that are weary and increases the number frequency and musicians. such is treated with chemicals and radiation there are also natural processes like privatizing difference pcs. or infection of viruses and bacterial pathogens. our region as well no gm posts are different in that they are understood to be organisms which have extra dna. related species inserted into the genome or laboratory genetic engineering. this is true the monsanto products you are talking of roundup ready. bt toxin plants bac

do we know about mutagenesis and is it the next agribusiness to be tamed i spoke earlier with james shapiro a professor of microbiology at the university of chicago i first asked him to explain how mutagenesis works and how it differs from the way g m o's are modified military tune which is the ordering genetic changes is in their actual process organisms and actively modify our of their d.n.a. and they do so especially when they're under stress that's a key to their whole lucian. genesis is treating organisms you know where it increases the number or frequency of mutations such as treatment was chemicals irradiation. but there are also natural processes like hybridizing different species or infection of viruses and bacterial pathogens that are mutagenic as well sir jim bozos are different in that they're understood to be organisms which have extra d.n.a. from unrelated species inserted into their genomes by laboratory genetic engineering this is true of the monsanto products you are talking about roundup ready and bt toxin plants bacterial d.n.a. and sort that inserted into them. g.m.o. is

mutagenesis and is it the next generation agribusiness to talk about all that and more i'm joined by james shapiro a professor of microbiology at the university of chicago james thank you for joining me it's a pleasure first of all mutagenesis is a complex process to understand can you talk a little bit about how it works and how it really differs from the way g m o's are modified well let me see if i can make this clear mutation which is acquiring genetic changes is in their actual process organisms and actively modify their d.n.a. and they do so especially when they're under stress that's the key to evolution mutagenesis is treating organisms in a way that increases the number or frequency of mutations such as treatment with chemicals or radiation but there are also natural processes like hybridizing different species or infection with viruses and bacterial pathogens that are new to generate goes well. sorry jim beauce are different in that they're understood to be organisms which have extra d.n.a. from unrelated species inserted into their genomes by laboratory genetic engineering this is true
