“…As a result, they lacked tissue-specific expression of the transgenes (Lacy, Roberts, Evans, Burtenshaw, & Costantini, 1983). The dramatic demonstration of growth enhancement in mice, a phenotype with clear relevance to food animals, following delivery of transgenic growth hormone genes (Palmiter et al, 1982; Palmiter, Norstedt, Gelinas, Hammer, & Brinster, 1983), led to predictions that recombinant DNAs would be introduced into food crops and animals (Bauman, McCutcheon, Steinhour, Eppard, & Sechen, 1985; Seidel, 1985; Wagner & Murray, 1985). However, in some cases random integration led to adverse effects, including death (ref).…”
