When scientists in China girded cotton with an insect-killing toxin in the late 1990s, they knew it would be a boon for cotton farmers. But in an unexpected twist, researchers have now found that genetically modified (GM) cotton that produces the natural pesticide casts a protective net over other kinds of crops in nearby fields - and not because introduced genes have spread beyond the cotton field.

he US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued draft guidance for the use of genetically engineered (GE) animals to produce drugs.
Covered in the document are requirements and recommendations for those producing pharmaceutical products using GE animals.
At present very few drugs produced in GE animals have reached commercialisation but given the system’s potential this is expected to change in coming years.
