Genetic modification involves the directed insertion, deletion, artificial synthesis or change of nucleotide bases in viral genomes. Genetically modified viruses are mostly generated by the insertion of foreign genes intro viral genomes for the purposes of biomedical, agricultural, bio-control, or technological objectives. The terms genetically modified virus and genetically engineered virus are used synonymously." [link to en.wikipedia.org (secure)] |

One group supposedly debunked that the CRISPR method was viable at all. Seems like another party made "good" on use of that discredited tech somehow.. |
