Transgenic Plants

7.3K
Recombinant DNA technology called transgenesis is often used to add a foreign gene or remove a detrimental gene from an organism. Such genetically modified organisms are called transgenic organisms.
The first-ever transgenic plant was a tobacco plant developed in 1983 that showed resistance against the tobacco mosaic virus. Since then, many transgenic plants have been developed and commercialized for improving the agricultural, ornamental, and horticultural value of a crop plant. Transgenic...

TGF - β Signaling Pathway01:16

TGF - β Signaling Pathway

7.4K
The TGF-β signaling pathway regulates cell growth, differentiation, adhesion, motility, and development. TGF-β ligands that induce TGF-β signaling are synthesized in their latent form. Several proteases or cell surface receptors such as integrins act upon the latent form, releasing the active ligand. There are three types of mammalian TGF-βs: (TGF-β1, TGF-β2, and TGF-β3) that bind as homodimers or heterodimers to TGF-β receptors. The TGF-β receptors...

Genomics

36.5K
Genomics is the science of genomes: it is the study of all the genetic material of an organism. In humans, the genome consists of information carried in 23 pairs of chromosomes in the nucleus, as well as mitochondrial DNA. In genomics, both coding and non-coding DNA is sequenced and analyzed. Genomics allows a better understanding of all living things, their evolution, and their diversity. It has a myriad of uses: for example, to build phylogenetic trees, to improve productivity and...

Synthetic Biology

4.8K
Synthetic biology is an interdisciplinary science that involves using principles from disciplines such as engineering, molecular biology, cell biology, and systems biology. It involves remodeling existing organisms from nature or constructing completely new synthetic organisms for applications such as protein or enzyme production, bioremediation, value-added macromolecule production, and the addition of desirable traits to crops, to name a few.

Area of Science:

  • Agricultural Science
  • Social Media Analysis
  • Public Health Communication

Background:

  • Social media platforms are key channels for public discourse on complex scientific topics.
  • Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) are frequently discussed, but often accompanied by misinformation.
  • Understanding the nature and spread of GMO-related misinformation is crucial for public trust.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze Twitter discussions concerning Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs).
  • To identify and categorize misinformation and conspiracy theories related to GMOs.
  • To inform strategies for countering false information and enhancing public understanding of GMO technology.

Main Methods:

  • Collected and analyzed 1,048,274 English tweets about GMOs from January 2020 to December 2022.
  • Utilized the Twitter API for data acquisition.
  • Performed topical and sentiment analysis to identify themes, attitudes, and misinformation clusters.

Main Results:

  • Over 1 million GMO-related tweets were analyzed, with 47.43% positive, 30.92% negative, and 21.65% neutral sentiment.
  • Four significant clusters of misinformation/conspiracy theories were identified: GMOs and vaccines, GMOs and COVID-19, GMOs and Monsanto, and GMOs and Bill Gates.
  • Analysis revealed specific themes driving negative sentiment and distrust in GMO technology.

Conclusions:

  • Twitter serves as a significant platform for the dissemination of GMO misinformation and conspiracy theories.
  • Identifying specific misinformation narratives (e.g., links to vaccines, COVID-19) is key to developing targeted interventions.
  • Findings can guide efforts to improve public understanding and foster trust in GMO science and technology.
