Putting it another way, both cisgenic and transgenic genetic combinations occur constantly in nature.

Transgenic salmon will be as bad as the largest oil spill in U.S. history?
But it also wants to keep open the possibility of exporting its own transgenic products.
Genetic engineering, or recombinant DNA, methods can be and are used to create both cisgenic and transgenic constructions.

Getting approval for any transgenic crop or food is like running a torturous gauntlet, both arduous and bureaucratic.
Or what if the transgenic animals somehow got into the human food chain?
Some 70% of processed foods in Canada now have transgenic ingredients, but are not required to be labelled to show this.
Historically, humans have been consuming cauliflower mosaic virus and its 35S promoter at much higher levels than those in uninfected transgenic plants.

Creating transgenic animals that contain the GFP gene has become increasingly important.
Transgenic plants, engineered with an antipest gene, could kill the bugs.
Concerned with the misunderstanding about transgenic corn, Wambugu created A Harvest Biotech Foundation International to serve as a pan-African voice on the issue.
The 2010 National Medal of Science to Ralph L. Brinster, University of Pennsylvania, for his fundamental contributions to the development and use of transgenic mice.

It is profoundly unhelpful to storm off in a huff destroying transgenic seeds and pulling up field trials, as has happened in France, Britain and Ireland.
Most of those with strong or growing biotechnology industries, including Argentina (currently the second-largest producer of transgenic crops), Australia, Canada and Mexico, support the Americans.
Also sitting pretty is Nexia, particularly since it began to focus on the use of transgenic animals to make medicines that can protect against nerve agents.
His firm creates human antibodies in transgenic mice, clones the antibodies and then uses conventional processes to churn out copies of the antibodies by the thousand.
Farmers, too, are grumbling, saying that instead of greater yields, transgenic seeds lead to greater use of chemicals and the probable contamination of nearby conventional crops.
We had a stand of transgenic trees, which we were engineering to make them easier to pulp, so you could use fewer chemicals in the process.
One difficulty with introducing toxins into transgenic animals such as mice is that they may not survive the toxins, in which case they can't produce the antibodies.
Late in my life, I was hired by a lab at Cornell University as support staff doing research into the molecular components of meiosis, using transgenic mice.

Nexia became known as the spider-silk company, after it created transgenic goats capable of producing spider silk (which is, in fact, a form of protein) in their milk.
It took another two years to test the transgenic tubers in greenhouses and yet another two years to obtain the necessary permits from Kenya to plant the crops for field testing.
Unlike transgenic animals, such plants are designed to live in the open, where they may crossbreed with wild relatives and products made with them will end up on the dinner table.
The US food regulator, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), has just declared that transgenic AquAdvantage salmon have "no significant impact", which is usually the last step before the final approval.
Their suit challenged the validity of Monsanto transgenic patents and sought pre-emptive court protection from lawsuits that might be brought by Monsanto if its biotech traits were found in their fields.
MSN: Food safety group calls for court to limit GMO seed patents
According to Philip Stott, emeritus professor of biogeography at the University of London, these days there are somewhere between 100 and 130 transgenic scientists working in crop research institutes in Britain.
Excessive, unnecessary and scientifically unjustified regulatory burdens significantly hinder innovative research and development with cisgenic and transgenic (genetic constructions in which genes are moved across so-called natural breeding boundaries) genetically engineered plants.
FORBES: EPA Biotech Regulation Bucks The Scientific Consensus
The uncertainty over regulatory and public reactions is one of the reasons why, over the past four years, at least two dozen firms working to create drugs from transgenic animals have gone bust.
