Deregulation of New GE: Reasonable? Proportional?
TESTBIOTECH Background 18 - 5 - 2021
The EU Commission has published a report setting out plans to change EU GMO regulation (EU Commission 2021). According to this report plants derived from New GE (new genomic techniques, genome editing), could be exempt from EU regulation if their intended characteristics are already known from conventional breeding and no transgenes have been inserted.

Genetic engineering endangers the protection of species
Why the spread of genetically engineered organisms into natural populations has to be prevented
What is (not) genetic engineering?
It is often claimed that new genetic engineering methods like CRISPR/Cas only do what continuously happens in nature anyway. Is this really true?

New methods of genetic engineering: GENE-DRIVE-MOSQUITOS (TESTBIOTECH Background 17 – 9 – 2018 )
A possible future scenario
Testbiotech´s work is based on exacting scientific standards. Nevertheless, in our video clip on ‘gene drive mosquitos’ we go beyond what can be considered to be scientific knowledge and present apossible future scenario. The clip uses ‘scientific fiction’ to narrate a well-known pattern: it startswith a mysterious incident in the year 2040 and goes on weiterlesen
