Throughout the last year, field trials of GM and GE crops have continued at Rothamsted despite the various lockdowns and other restrictions that have hampered progress elsewhere.
Rather than ask if genome editing leads to unintended genetic consequences, it’s better to ask if it leads to more changes, and the answer to that is no.
Starting a business can be high risk-high reward, and the ups and downs make it both exciting and challenging. No two days are the same and you never really know what is round the next corner.
