Hi folks
Here is some new intel to keep you in the picture.
Last week, US patent authorities granted eukaryote CRISPR patents to
MIT/Harvard Broad Institue (prokaryotes are with UC Berkeley)
https://www.technologyreview.com/s/603662/patent-office-hands-win-in-crispr-battle-to-broad-institute/?goal=0_997ed6f472-6ee82d4db4-153906933&mc_cid=6ee82d4db4&mc_eid=0b98007850
then shares of Editas Genetics, the start up that plans to use the
patented tech for gene therapy, anti-aging etc jumped accordingly

And then Georg Church, co founder of Editas proclaimed that with a
few years CRISPR will be used to REVERSE aging (among others).

The situation in Europe is no different, see e.g.
https://register.epo.org/application?number=EP16742455
Among the many patents registered at EPO.
So folks, whatever you CRISPR in your kitchens, for the next 20 years
or so it will be DIY in the strict sense, for YOURSELF, with
exceptions maybe for research or educatiuonal purposes, but not for
others as that will be patent infringements - if you don’t plan to
strike a deal.
Cheers.

Hi folks,
Great to see some good response. Here is some more food for thought
with
the potential for lively exchange of views and opinions.
You might have seen the Warning by the German government institution
to be
careful when using DIYBio kits. The German „Bundesamt für
Verbraucherschutz" has issued a warning for people who think about
purchasing any of the available DIY kits for doing more than
analytics, say
synthetic stuff. In Make Magazine Germany they discuss who would be
affected and several well known start-ups were mentioned.
Warning by Bundesamt für Verbraucherschutz
http://www.bvl.bund.de/DE/06_Gentechnik/04_Fachmeldungen/
2017/2017_01_25_DIY-Kits.html
And Make article
https://www.heise.de/make/meldung/Biohacking-Bundesamt-
warnt-vor-Do-It-Yourself-Kits-3616860.html
Today, two of the affected US “Accessible Bio” companies, Amino
and
Biorealize, have issued a statement responding to the warning, titled
Accessible Bio Companies Back Up the Importance of “Criminal”
DIY Kits for
the Future of Science Education
