Because genetic engineering involves the modification of an organism's set of instructions, it has created a dilemma raising both moral and ethical concerns. For instance, a biotechnological company has found a way to produce rice that is immune to pests and diseases, which is vital for the establishment of food security. However, the methods that will be implemented are by splicing off the genes of endangered pandas using invasive procedures that may harm their population. Will you support this? Why or why not

Genomic studies

Genomic studies (genomics) is the study of the whole genome of an organism. Using bioinformatics and high-performance computing, genomic researchers examined massive amounts of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)-sequence data to discover variations or mutations that affect drug response, health, or disease. Genomics is a much younger discipline than genetics, having only emerged in the last few decades as a result of technological advancements in DNA sequencing and computational biology.
