Unintended Effects of Genetic Manipulation

Type of Unintended Effect: Scrambled DNA

arabidopsis_004: Single-site integration of foreign DNA into Arabidopsis showed rearrangements and deletions of both plant DNA and foreign DNA.

maize_008: The transgenic sequences of some Bt maize plants have changed since they were approved.

oat_001: Insertion of transgenes in oats resulted in modification of both the transgenic construct and host DNA.

tobacco_002: Discoloration and DNA rearrangements were observed in transgenic tobacco plants expressing HIV proteins.
