Some believe that there is also a genetic component to hyperpolyglottism, and evidence suggests that the trait runs in families. Unfortunately, it is difficult to get families to agree to subject themselves to a genetic study
Incertitude was common when Americans were asked if they think genetically engineered food is safe. For example, salmon given a growth hormone-regulating gene grow to market size in 18 months rather than 3 years.
Will my baby be healthy? It's a question that concerns every prospective parent. Now a new technology will allow people to screen out sperm donors who could increase the risk of a child inheriting genetic diseases.

Researchers say that disrupting the salmon's migratory behavior and strong homing instinct could have long-term consequences, as their genetic profiles are unique to their natal rivers.
Scientists are flu-proofing flocks of chickens by genetically modifying the bird to create a decoy polymerase. The virus latches on to the fake, preventing it from replicating.
The cycle of wildlife is so interdependent that an alteration in one place is bound to have consequences elsewhere. We can't predict the consequences of allowing genetically modified animals loose on the world.

The mixing of cells from genetically distinct individuals is not at all uncommon. Named after the fire-breathing Chimera from Greek mythology, naturally occurring chimeras, like mold and coral, are far less ominous.

"Men and women share more than 99 per cent of their genetic material. But sometimes the small genetic differences result in dramatic differences as far as diagnosis and treatment go."
The environment in which we live may be even more important than either genetics or our individual food choices in determining the prevalence of obesity.

Though the penguin looks like an albino, the bird actually appears to have isabellinism - a genetic mutation that dilutes pigment in penguins' feathers.
It is a love story about a man with a genetic disorder that causes him to time travel unpredictably, and about his wife, an artist, who has to cope with his frequent absences and dangerous experiences.
