BBC NEWS | Science/Nature | Scientists hope to ease GM fears: "'Products on the market now may well have antibiotic-resistant marker genes in them,' Clare Oxborrow, GM campaigner with Friends of the Earth, told the BBC News website, 'so this won't have any importance when it comes to the approval process.
'Also, the researchers point out that they aren't clear on the function of the inserted gene; so although it does carry this potential benefit, they don't know what else it might do to the plant, and there doesn't seem to have been any serious investigation of the type which would be required by food safety assessment authorities.'"
