4.6 Genetic engineering can disrupt the complex relationships governing gene expression
The GM transformation process can disrupt a network of genes that function as a unit.
Synthetic genes used in gene insertion may not act the same way as natural ones.
Multiple transgenes inserted into the same genome may interact in unpredicted ways.
Genetic engineering does not take into account its potential to damage newly discovered properties of the DNA, such as a second code embedded in the structure, which may aid
in gene regulation.
