However, we do not have guidelines nor enough examples and data from real case scenarios that would allow for precise context-dependent decision making. This chicken-egg problem is hindering technology transfer of (microbial) synthetic biology applications.

In the article we argue how the threshold that has been used in the last 20 years has been misinterpreted. Moreover, safety considerations of GMM for out-of-the-lab applications should be context-dependent.

It started with the question: what is a good enough escape frequency for GMM envisioned to be used outside of laboratory settings?

Our new article titled ” Rethinking escape frequency benchmarks for environmental applications of engineered microorganisms” has just been published in @amiposts.bsky.social : academic.oup.com/jambio/artic...
