Genetically Engineered Organisms, Wildlife, and Habitat: A Workshop Summary

Great advances have been made in the development and application of genetically engineered organisms (GEOs) since the first commercial introduction of transgenic corn plants in 1995. These technologies have provided enormous benefits to agricultural crop production and have the potential to transform fields such as aquaculture, biofuel production, bioremediation, biocontrol, and even the production of pharmaceuticals.
