Science Knowledge Biotechnology is the Science of Miracles Recognizing that questions are raised about the science surrounding biotechnology, teams of scientists at DuPont have reviewed and summarized scientific information from diverse sources. We encourage you to read about these areas and share your perspective with us. Food Allergy Food allergies are relevant to products developed through biotechnology because the improvements often involve adding or changing genes. » More Feed and Livestock Farmers and feed producers seek to understand the nutritional quality of animal feed made from biotech crops. » More Gene Flow DuPont scientists conducted a review of current scientific literature related to gene flow between crop varieties and gene flow from crop to wild relatives. » More Herbicide Resistant Crops and Weed Management Today growers all over the world minimize the negative impact of weeds by using herbicides and herbicide resistant varieties of most crops. » More Horizontal Gene Transfer Genes move between different species, such as bacteria and plants, through a process unrelated to reproduction that is known as horizontal gene transfer (HGT). » More Methods This section examines some of the methods of biotechnology that are used by scientists to improve crops, as well as the safety evaluations that must precede transgenic crop commercialization. » More
