Picturing mad scientists injecting glowing chemicals into tomatoes even while mega-corporations fill their bank accounts, many health-conscious consumers will do anything to avoid GMOs. But what if we told you that genetically modified crops existed even 8,000 years ago - modified by the hand of nature in the exact same way that scientists alter crops today?

How the heck is that possible? It's one thing to make the argument that any domesticated crop - where its natural selection was guided and even accelerated by human influence - is a GMO. This argument, which was made widely popular by "science guy" Neil deGrasse Tyson, asserts that even your dog and the organic apples found at your local farmer's market are technically GMOs - as they certainly wouldn't have evolved and developed into the organisms that they are now had it not been for humanity.

"There are no wild, seedless watermelons. There's no wild cows... You list all the fruit, and all the vegetables, and ask yourself, is there a wild counterpart to this? If there is, it's not as large, it's not as sweet, it's not as juicy, and it has way more seeds in it," Tyson explained to several fans at a signing back in 2014. "We have systematically genetically modified all the foods, the vegetables, and animals that we have eaten ever since we cultivated them. It's called artificial selection."

The argument has long been that what is done in a lab - often called genetic editing - is just another form of this artificial selection, in which scientists re-order genetic information naturally found in a crop to ensure it expresses the desired traits. Even the Simplot potato, the latest of nine lab-made crops approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), was genetically edited so that it boasts LESS potential carcinogens than natural potato varieties.

However, there has always been a second variety of GMO that even educated parties have voiced some concern about. These are transgenic GMOs that were crafted in a process called genetic insertion. Unlike simple editing, these crops actually boast genetic information that the original organism never had - foreign information inserted into a crop's DNA with the help of designer bacteria. (Scroll to read on...)

The very understandable worry has always been that these crops - boasting traits they never could have achieved through natural selection - could contaminate the natural world or even express unforeseen genetic consequences.

Now, however, experts have found evidence that even transgenic crops have occurred naturally, without the help of a lab or even simple human meddling.

That's at least according to a study recently published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences which details how Scientists at the International Potato Center in Lima, Peru, have found 'foreign' genes in 291 sweet potato varieties untouched by science.

An investigation into the origins of these genes determined that the 'mad scientists' in this case were naturally occurring soil bacteria, and these sweet potatoes were likely first modified at least 8,000 years ago - long before the roots were being boiled, baked, or fried.

How is that possible? It actually shouldn't come as much of a surprise. The same bacteria family that is widely used for lab-side genetic insertion, called Agrobacterium, also happens to be a ubiquitous soil bacterium found all over the globe. Constantly feuding amongst themselves, these bacterium use their own genetic information almost like biological warfare. They attempt to infect one another with bits of DNA in bids to disrupt a neighbor during frequent turf wars. And while this has made soil bacteria particularly resilient antimicrobial powerhouses, it also makes them huge influences on the plant life they surround. (Scroll to read on...)

On occasion, these little 'DNA infections' can become something more, finding a permanent home in an organism's genome. And that's it! Suddenly you have a plant boasting utterly foreign genetic information. It's exceptionally rare, however, for those new genes to have an actual impact on the expression of traits.

And yet, that's exactly what the Potato Center researchers suspect occurred with sweet potatoes, making them the edible plants they are today. You see, unlike your run-of-the-mill potato, sweet potatoes aren't tubers, they're just very swollen roots.

"We think the bacteria genes help the plant produce two hormones that change the root and make it something edible," study lead Jan Kreuze recently told NPR's blog Goats and Soda. "We need to prove that, but right now, we can't find any sweet potatoes without these genes."

The researcher explained that when our ancestors first started farming, they likely stumbled upon the swollen roots and, thinking that they would make a fine soup, started strictly cultivating sweet potatoes boasting the foreign genes.

The rest, as they say, is history.

Still, the greatest irony is that the sweet potato has long been hailed as a healthier alternative compared to your standard starch dish. And health-conscious GMO opponents are no doubt some of the largest consumers of these soft, orangy roots.

Now, the next time you're sharing a basket of sweet potato fries in your favorite organic kale-wrap sandwich house, you can tell your friends that they're gnashing down on a serious GMO. Be sure to record their reactions.

Browse > Home / Research / Ovarian cancer patients should undergo genetic testing

By MUHC Public Affairs

The genes BRCA1 and BRCA2 play a significant role in hereditary breast and ovarian cancers. Recent media attention has focused on American actress Angelina Jolie's decision to have her ovaries and fallopian tubes surgically removed after genetic testing for such cancers. A study led by a team from the Research Institute of the McGill University Health Centre (RI-MUHC) in collaboration with the Centre de recherche du Centre Hospitalier de l'Université de Montréal (CRCHUM) and the Jewish General Hospital; suggests that all women with ovarian cancer should be tested for these genes, regardless of their family history. The findings, published in the Journal of Ovarian Research, have clinical implications both for the treatment of this disease and for the screening of individuals at-risk.

"Our findings suggest that all women with the most common form of ovarian cancer should be offered genetic testing as this would help identify carrier women in their families and allow health professionals to offer risk reducing strategies for their relatives," says lead author Dr. Patricia Tonin, Associate Leader of the Cancer Research Program at the Centre for Translational Biology of the RI-MUHC. "Currently, only women with a family history of breast and ovarian cancer are offered genetic testing, and if they happen to carry BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutations they are given cancer prevention strategies to reduce their risk for these cancers."

Dr. Tonin and her colleagues examined more than 400 tissue samples from a unique population of French Canadian women with ovarian cancer that were not selected for their family history of cancer. Analysis revealed that 19 per cent of women with the most common and lethal form of ovarian cancer carry mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2, which is considerably higher than the previous estimates of 4 to 11 per cent.

"Women with a mutation in one of their BRCA genes have an increased risk of developing ovarian cancer in their lifetime," says Dr. Tonin, who is also an associate professor at McGill's Departments of Medicine and Human Genetics and one of the co-discoverers of these genes. "They could be offered prevention strategies such as ovary and fallopian tube removal, which is the only proven effective method for reducing the risk of developing ovarian cancer. Given this risk and the lethality of ovarian cancer it is critical to identify the women who have these inherited gene mutations and at this point, genetic screening is the only option."

Successful treatment of the disease may also be related to the BRCA gene-mutations. "Many of the current ovarian cancer therapies are not effective long-term," adds Dr. Tonin. "However, new clinical trials show that women with ovarian cancer who carry these BRCA mutations are very responsive to some of the newer therapies. These findings rationalize genetic testing for all women with ovarian cancer, which is currently not the standard of care. We need to inform women of the benefits of this option."
There are 17,000 Canadian women living with ovarian cancer. It is estimated that this year in Canada, 2,600 women will be newly diagnosed with this disease. Ovarian cancer is the fifth most common cancer for women and is the most fatal women's cancer.

Summary:

For a while, antibiotic resistance bugs could be easily found in hospitals and cramped environments, causing concern in the community. Today, a particular superbug, MRSA, has found its way into the daily lives of American homes; they are known for their superior resistance against common drugs and are spread through skin contact, making it an easy target for households. Through a research experiment of 161 New York residents who contract MRSA between 2009 and 2011, it was discovered that a strain of MRSA, USA300, was the common leading cause of spreading an epidemic. It spreads fast and grows stronger due to genetic variation once it touches another household along with the misuse of antibiotic drugs that expose bacteria to weak antibiotic drugs. The best way to prevent any further spreading would be to keep clean of affected objects, cover up wounds, and frequent hand washing.
