- graypegg 4y ago… non-GMO? How do you manage that? Is a culture considered non-GMO as long as you’re just pipetting colonies around and hoping for the them to be stressed the right way to evolve something useful?
- kurthr 4y agoWell, otherwise just about every plant and animal we use in agriculture would be GMO for the last 1000 years.

- bbojan 4y agoAny organism we bred is genetically modified by definition. That's why "transgenic" is a much more accurate term that we should be using.
