"Pairwise introduces a gene-edited salad [sic] created in Durham"
"Can fruits and vegetables be made better? With gene editing, Durham firm believes so."
I didn't know that "gene-edited foods do not have to carry identifying labels." 😲

More concerns about mosquitoes -- especially since they can breed when exposed to

Behind an academic paywall:

Science snipes at transgenic-mosquito trial

by Nidhi Subbaraman

Nature Biotechnology volume 29, pages 9–10 (2011)

"'s plans for transgenic trials have not been without controversy in the past. They have been criticized by environmental groups, such as Ottawa-based and of Oxford, concerned about the risks of releasing an entirely new strain of organism into the environment".

There are concerns that can breed if exposed to tetracycline (links in thread)

Environmental groups relieved as release of GE mosquitoes avoided in

In what some environmental groups call a ‘major win,’ the release of genetically engineered (GE) mosquitoes in California has been averted, at least for now. The company behind the project, Oxitec, has voluntarily withdrawn its application to release these mosquitoes, which had been funded by the Bill Gates Foundation.

Researchers are genetically altering hens
To create an egg that will not offend
It's completely free of the allergen ovomucoid
For the people who have an egg allergy void
Though testing is still needed to make sure it's safe
We can look forward to an egg we can consume with grace

It's great to see more & more objective, fact-based reporting on and GM plants in particular, in German media. 👍

Great job @deutschewelle.

"We have 30 years of safety information showing that GM food is completely safe to eat, and 30 years of information showing it's not dangerous for the environment"

I have a PhD in molecular biology, eg I know a little about

not a lot, but a little

I speculate that with modern tools like CRISP we could make poop smell nice
or worse
