Peer+Review+Article+on+GMO

__Peer Reviewed Abstract and General resources__
//As a portion of the research process, you need to use an article from a peer reviewed journal about your GMO. Read an abstract first to see if the article is a possible one to look at- this will save you time in your searching. This is where you the researcher need to discern what is most useful. Do not get bogged down in complicated techno-speak. Look for clear, understandable information that will further your knowledge about this GMO and answer the questions.//
