Exploring the impact of GMOs on the environment and health.

In this slogging thread, our community discussed the benefits of gene editing, and how it is different from GMOs.

The Genetic Effects of Radiation, by Isaac Asimov, is part of HackerNoon’s Book Blog Post series. This is a collection of links to its different sections.

An introduction to Asimov's Genetics of Radiation.

A look at cells and chromosomes and the role they play in the genetics of radiation.

Different chemical changes occur in the cell and are guided and controlled by the existence of as many thousands of different enzymes within the cell.

Some gene mutations produce characteristics so undesirable that it is hard to imagine any change in environmental conditions that would make them beneficial.

In 1896, radioactivity was discovered and radioactive substances were concentrated in laboratories in order that they might be studied.

Where radiation is insufficient to render a cell incapable of division, it may still induce mutations.

The danger of overexposure to high-energy radiation was understood fairly soon but not before some tragic experiences were recorded.
