Genetic engineering technology was created based on the outmoded notion
that a single gene will create only a single protein.
Due to a process called alternative splicing, a single gene can produce many
different proteins.
Although the bacterial genes used in GM crops will not, in their natural state,
be alternatively spliced, scientists modify the sequence in such a way that may
facilitate this.
