Whole microbial genomes can be changed at will simultaneously and rapidly; with large implications for safety by Dr Mae-Wan Ho
... that is why genetic modification of crops and livestock is inherently uncontrollable and hazardous (see [1] GM is Dangerous and Futile, SiS 40). Synthetic biologists must proceed with caution in targeting plant and animal genomes, because the unpredictability and potential hazards are multiplied many times over.... http://www.i-sis.org.uk/Mass_Genome_Engineering.php
