Biological confinement of genetically engineered organisms /

Mostrar otras versiones (1)

Annotation Genetically engineered organisms (GEOs) have been under development for more than 20 years while GE crops have been grown commercially during the last decade. During this time, a number of questions have cropped up concerning the potential consequences that certain GEOs might have on natu...
