GMO Tobacco Research Paper
Analyzing the Risks and Benefits of GMOs
Perform and Record

The companies use tobacco to express the necessary proteins. They will first identify the viral protein that the vaccine will target and then finds the genetic sequence that codes for it, that DNA is inserted into a bacterium. The plants are then dipped into a solution of the bacteria where it will soak up the virus.
The vaccine will go through many tests and trials to be approved. It has gotten funding from many medical companies and such including DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency). It is also approved by the IDRI (Infectious Disease Research Institute) but must have an overall approval by the FDA.
Recently, Medicago (producer) has exceeded the CHMP (Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use) criteria in their 3 configurations. The positive clinical results say that the vaccine is best in class. In April 2013 it had finished its Phase I clinical trial and was expected to continue to Phase II in May 2013. It has yet to be approved by the FDA.

There are no issues to this GMO because it is healthy and would not harm you.

-Everyone can benefit from this because the flu infects and kills many each year.
-It promotes healthy living and protection against a virus.
-There are no risks to the environment
-There are no risks to this GMO, but there are many benefits including the fact that it is cheaper than the alternative (eggs), and that it produces more.
Analyze and Interpret
The GMO should continue to be produced and should be released earlier. There are no risks to this and there are many benefits like the production time is faster than the alternative, it is less costly, and it is helping people.
