=====================================

  With the discovery of recombinant DNA biotechnology, humanity made off with Mother Nature's scissors. Unfortunately we know less than She. Editing the code of life with incomplete knowledge of meaning is like an electrician inside a supercomputer hacking out pieces assumed to be useless in order to make a "better" machine.

Specifically, genetic engineers are currently redesigning plants, animals, and people ostensibly for herbicide resistance, and disease immunity. It is assumed that the preponderance of "junk" DNA that intervenes between coding regions is inefficient, useless and could be removed for greater stream- lining. In actuality these spans serve multiple biological functions (cancer prevention, gene induction) and should be left in place within the genome.

Eukaryotic organisms (those with a double DNA library) have small sequences of DNA able to remove themselves and reinsert elsewhere in the genome. These "jumping genes" are usually latent and immobile, but under stress, become active. If they reinsert into a coding region of the genome they can disrupt a gene's biological function causing a mutation and potentially cancer. Fortunately, the genome of eukaryotic organisms is characterized by vast stretches of non-coding "junk DNA". If a jumping gene becomes active it is more likely to reinsert somewhere without causing harm. If genetic engineers attenuate non-coding regions, they may increase the likelihood of "jumping gene"-induced cancer.

Further, intervening sequences (introns) can be necessary for effective gene induction. For DNA to be converted to RNA from a coding sequence (gene), an upstream promoter must be induced. In some instances the DNA-binding protein required to turn on the gene must bind to the DNA in two places at once separated at times by hundreds of intervening base pairs (rungs of the ladder). DNA achieves this by bending the intron to accomadate dual binding by the DNA-binding protein. In this case, removal of the required intervening sequence would destoy proper gene induction.

In addition to the molecular necessity of introns for genetic function, there is also a less immediately tangible requirement for non-coding DNA stretches for biological health. It has been hypothesized that DNA serves as an antennae for electromagnetic capacitance. If the genome has been fragmented to such a degree that it can no longer vibrate with the long wave within which other waveforms nest, those waveforms (memories) will be lost. The tingle of life transmitted through healthy, coherent DNA becomes absent. Humans feeding upon chickens and grains adulterated through genetic engineering may soon find themselves feeling devoid of the charge gleaned from organisms whose DNA was able to infuse their tissues with the electromagnetic charge known as life force. With rampant cases of chronic fatique syndrome in adults, and attention deficit disorder in children, one may infer that our cellular batteries are being insufficiently charged.

GM food: special report

A claim that genes used to modify crops can jump the species barrier into other
forms of wildlife was last night raising new concerns about the potential threat
to human health and the environment.

Unpublished work by Professor Hans-Hinrich Kaatz of the University of Jena,
Germany, suggests genes from GM rape seed can be transferred to bacteria and
fungi in the gut of honey bees, posing serious questions for GM supporters and
the biotech industry who believe the chances of gene transfer are very limited.

The findings, if substantiated, could further dent public confidence in
scientists and the government, whose handling of the crisis surrounding the
growing of GM-contaminated conventional crops over thousands of acres in the
last two springs has provoked anger from farmers, anti-GM campaigners and the
Tories.

Prof Kaatz has been experimenting for three years with honey bees on a field
sowed with GM rape, engineered to resist certain herbicides while surrounding
weeds were treated. He removed pollen gathered by the bees on their hind legs
when they returned to the hive and in a laboratory fed it to young honey bees
which naturally eat it as part of a high protein diet.

Then he took intestines out of the bees and spread the contents on a growth
medium to grow micro-organisms. In some bacteria and in a yeast from the gut he
found the gene that conferred resistance to the herbicide.

Prof Kaatz told the German television station ZDF that the "bees had obviously
taken up these genes. They were in the bacteria in the intestinal tract of the
bees and seemed to have come from the genes of the original plant and to have
been taken up into their own genetic make-up." He said this happened rarely,
but it "does happen".

The Ministry of Agriculture made clear that it would only study the research if
it was published in a scientific journal, after being reviewed by other
scientists. A spokesman said the work "made an interesting point we will have
to look at, and will do, once it is published. We are not going to jump to any
conclusions."

Adrian Bebb of Friends of the Earth said: "I think this is pretty alarming
research. It shows us how little we know."
