Chinese GM found that the US genetically modified SCoAL is purely a rumor

In these few days, there were a number of "100,000+" articles on WeChat. "Amazing: Chinese GM's SCoAL gene was discovered in Chinese civilians! "British research: Chinese people have already seen genes common in GM crops, please beware of the next generation! The contents of these articles are roughly the same and are widely disseminated and discussed.

Industry experts believe that the content of this article is purely apocryphal, it is a "fishing text."

On February 26, Lin Min, director and researcher of the Institute of Biotechnology of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, told the Science and Technology Daily reporter that he speculated that these articles were from a report from the Right Bank News Agency in July 2012.

The report showed that the British academic journal "The Shelley Genetics Newsletter" published an article that pointed out that in the genome research of Chinese civilians, the gene SCoAL, which is used to promote growth in genetically modified crops, was discovered. May have a long-term impact on human health. The article also said: "The reporter specially visited the geneticist Professor Victor Stein. Stein came from the German Texrows Medical Center." "Stein found in the whole genome sequencing of Chinese volunteers, more than Half of the volunteers found a gene called 'SCoAL' on chromosome 25."

“In fact, there is no British academic journal of the Shelley Genetics Newsletter.” Lin Min said that there is no Texa Rosa Medical Center. At the same time, humans have not yet evolved to have chromosome 25, only 23 pairs. chromosome.

According to industry experts, this is actually a "fishing text." "Fishing" is a well-arranged language trap, and it is also a game means to tease each other's knowledge and logic.

Jiang Yan, a senior engineer at the Center for Biology Research at the Institute of Genetics and Development, Chinese Academy of Sciences, told the Science and Technology Daily reporter that from the name of the SCoAL gene, the succinic acid that deliberately called the biological concept succinic acid, and the chromosome 25, The author of this article has at least the relevant level of knowledge in university biochemistry.

Look at the logic expressed in this article: Although the topic is very confusing, a careful reading reveals that the whole article does not indicate that the gene has entered the human body through the consumption of genetically modified organisms.

"Therefore, this is a typical spoofing technique that uses insufficient knowledge and logical blind spots to produce unusual news effects that are more widely disseminated," Jiang said.

In addition, the style of discussion and opinions in the article changed greatly. “After the search comparison, the author copied an inverted gene article from a person named Zhang Hongliang, which is misunderstood and biased by genetically modified and transgenic scientists, and has nothing to do with the previous SCoAL gene. It is also part of the mischief.” Say.

"In this article, there are many other clever things. For example, the concept uses the ambiguous word 'civilian'; the geneticist Victor Stein, in the text, is actually a mad scientist in video games. Jiang Yan said that readers with basic knowledge and clear logic will know that this is a "fishing text" after reading it, and the technical content of this "fishing text" is not low.

Although the well-made "fishing text" is an efficient means in network communication, it may cause social panic. Therefore, Lin Min suggested that the negative impact of this article is enormous, and it is recommended that the relevant departments investigate and deal with it. (Technology Daily)

Greenhouse Garden Hydroponics

In a hydroponic system, plants are placed in nutrient-enriched water. Mediums such as gravels, sand or vermiculite can also be used. Thus plants which are placed in the water absorb the nutrients very easly. When the nutrients from the water starts finishing , water is recycled or additional nutrients are added.
