THE SCIENCE OF GENETIC CONTROL

THE SCIENCE OF GENETIC CONTROL

When we talk and do experiments in transgenic science, gene therapy 
and other methods of recombination, we are always enthralled to see a 
succesful cloning or transplantion and subsequent expression of such 
gene(s).  And we see that as a sign of honor. But controlling  the 
expression of those  transferred genes are not being prioritize at 
all.  I am not pessimistic but in case these "genes' would become 
awry and produce mutations (as in the case of humans)  within our 
chromosomes or with our normal flora  which would somehow lead to a 
genetic epidemic , what will we do then to control this emergency.  
This is just an eye opener for biotechnologists to consider the 
importance of genetic control  in levels of terminating or regulating 
the expression of such gene or eliminating the existence of the whole 
gene itself. This would somehow lead to a friendlier biotechnology. 
One which we could at least tame.
