METHOD FOR AFFECTING HEREDITARY STRUCTURE OF ORGANISMS Russian patent published in 1998 - IPC

FIELD: biology, in particular, molecular genetics. SUBSTANCE: method involves running electric current through environment which is inhabited by organisms. Slope of leading edge of pulses is increased in range from 5×10⁸ to 1×10¹⁵ V/s with pulse duration of 1×10^-1-3×10³ pulse per second under electric field strength in organisms in range from 2×10³ to 2×10⁶ V/m. Method involves preliminary conversion of electric current to magnetic field, which strength in organism in range of 2×10⁵-8×10⁷ A/m, or its conversion to electromagnetic field which strength in organism is in range of 2×10³-2×10⁶ V/m. EFFECT: simplified procedure for affecting organism in order to achieve mutation effect. 3 cl, 6 ex, 3 dwg
