Genetically modified bacteria could, for example, replace fertilizers. The EU Commission wants to facilitate their approval in agriculture. However, the environmental committee of the EU Parliament has rejected the bill - the risks are considered too high. It sounds enticingly simple: By spreading certain genetically modified bacteria on a field, which - more efficiently than their natural counterparts - extract nitrogen from the air and make it available to plants as nutrients. Thanks to such nitrogen fixers, farmers would need to fertilize less, and there would be less nitrate in drinking water. New genetic engineering methods before approval The EU Commission wants to ease the approval of such bacteria for various applications with a new law. Companies should be able to release them into the environment more easily. On Tuesday, the environmental committee of the EU Parliament rejected the EU Commission's bill. In an interview with BR, geneticist Luise Zühl from the Federal Agency for Nature Conservation explains that genetically modified microorganisms pose even greater risks than genetically modified plants. Geneticist: Modified microorganisms spread uncontrollably "Above all, bacteria can independently share their genetic material with other microorganisms through horizontal gene transfer, which do not necessarily have to be the same...

Warhound’s stated aims are to use selective breeding, cloning, and other biotechnology to develop a “supply of elite working dogs” that will be used for US military forces, law enforcement, and emergency first response. The dog-handler teams will also be kitted out with “cybernetic technology” designed by Anduril, although it’s not exactly clear what this will entail. The company’s press release mentions eye and ear protection, as well as Anduril’s EagleEye system, a mixed-reality platform designed to give soldiers access to battlefield information. In a statement, Luckey simply said: "Man's best friend deserves man's best tech.” Lamm didn’t want to expand on Anduril’s plans in an interview with WIRED about Warhounds, but he did comment: “Someone said, ‘So it's like the Captain America dog program with the Ironman tech program on top of it.’” Elsewhere, he has clarified that the tech will all be wearable, rather than involving implants. Backed by big business As part of their big reveal, the company has just announced they’ve raised $200 million in seed money from investors including Sequoia Capital and In-Q-Tel, a venture capital firm founded by the CIA. They also said the business will be led by CEO David Spirk, who has...

The struggle for food justice involves issues too big and complex to fit on any label.

The invention of CRISPR gene editing has led to a whole range of incredible medical breakthroughs. The technique allows scientists to quickly create cell and animal models in a way that had never been possible previously. It has also allowed many others to experiment in a range of other non-medical settings. This includes genetically modifying pets. Some of these uses are to help correct problems that have been bred into animals through conventional selective breeding. For example, some dog breeds are more susceptible to particular diseases or genetic conditions, and gene editing allows scientists to fix these. Other uses include making pets that are healthier for humans. One of the most well-known of these is the creation of hypoallergenic dogs. This uses CRISPR to edit out the specific protein that triggers allergic reactions in some people. So far, there have been successes in this field. “As someone who lives with dog allergies, this work is deeply personal,” explained Matt Walker, a scientist involved in creating some of the first hypoallergenic dogs, in a statement. “For most of my life, I assumed I'd never have a dog but have lived with Bailey for almost two years. She's a happy, healthy, and...
