[QUOTE="cheryl, post: 314, member: 1"] [URL='http://www.wctrib.com/news/science-and-nature/4484708-fast-moving-future-gene-edited-foods'][B]A fast-moving future for gene-edited foods - West Central Tribune[/B][/URL] In a gleaming laboratory hidden from the highway by a Hampton Inn and a Denny's restaurant, a researcher with the biotech firm Calyxt works the controls of a boxy robot. The robot whirs like an arcade claw machine, dropping blips of DNA into tubes with pipettes. It's building an enzyme that rewrites DNA - and transforming food and agriculture in the process. Thanks to a cutting-edge technology called gene editing, scientists can now turn plant genes "on" and "off" almost as easily as Calyxt scientists flip a switch to illuminate the rows of tender soybean plants growing in their lab.
