BigField GEG Tech's insight:
Gene editing offers dramatic advances in speed, scope and scale of genetic improvement. It also offers an opportunity for more nuanced GMO governance.

This article relates to agriculture because it talks about how Crispr can be used in agriculture. It's important for Crispr to be implemented into agriculture because we've hit a glass ceiling in the subject but Crispr is the hammer we needed. It will dramatically impact the agricultural lifestyle. Whether it's for good or bad is still up for debate.

BigField GEG Tech's insight:
The authors computationally redesign essential enzymes in the first organism possessing an altered genetic code (Escherichia coli strain C321.ΔA) to confer metabolic dependence on non-standard amino acids for survival. The resulting GMOs cannot metabolically bypass their biocontainment mechanisms using known environmental compounds, and they exhibit unprecedented resistance to evolutionary escape through mutagenesis and horizontal gene transfer.

BigField GEG Tech's insight:
New twist about the study of Selerani labs which demonstrated a high toxicity of a GMO. “Food and Chemical Toxicology” who has published the data asked Gilles Seralini to retract the paper. This request will certainly arouse a lot of reactions and various interpretations!

BigField GEG Tech's insight:
Less than 5 years ago the CRISPR/Cas nuclease was first introduced into eukaryotes, shortly becoming the most efficient and widely used tool for genome engineering. For plants, efforts were centred on obtaining heritable changes in most transformable crop species by inducing mutations into open reading frames of interest, via non-homologous end joining.

In a new study published in the peer reviewed Public Library of Science (PLOS), researchers emphasize that there is sufficient evidence that meal-derived DNA fragments carry complete genes that can enter into the human circulation system through an unknown mechanism.

Peak Organic Brewing Co. has announced that it has become the first brewer to receive Non-GMO Project verification for its beer.They believe this makes their product more 'pure' than beers which contain grains that have instead been randomly mutated and hybdrized over thousands of years.
