Sanity has prevailed!
We are pleased to report that #IUCN members have passed Motion 87 to adopt the IUCN Policy on Synthetic Biology! The Policy is a balanced view of biotech that reserves synbio applications on a case-by-case basis.

Our Toxic Male Technique (TMT) paper is finally out! TMT males produce insecticidal semen to eliminate the female population. It's the first example of intragenerational genetic biocontrol. Use in mosquitoes could dramatically reduce bloodmeals. https://t.co/2jjmU6peAy

Insects are great sources of protein for animal feed, but can we make them even better? Yes! Check out our preprint demonstrating the production of a functional phytase enzyme in Drosophila as a proof of principle https://t.co/2tPjrqYmxQ

Check out our Allele Sail paper - a simple method to use genome editors for modification of wild populations. Applications include genetic rescue of threatened species, reducing the ability of vectors to spread disease, and making cane toads less toxic. https://t.co/ofJYbMuZ3E

Excited to share our work on Programmable Transcriptional Activators (PTAs) for plants! We started by screening a library of activation domains in monocots&dicots, culminating in using these PTAs to activate enhancers in protoplasts.
