Open Source

  • By open source, we mean the free accessibility to information about genetic material, protocols for working with it and the ease and standardization of the methods used.

  • Are there any problems associated with open source biology?

  • Which advantages could open source have for scientific community and society in general?

  • On a timescale of 100 years, will it be possible for people with no professional training, to do genetic manipulations of organisms at home?

    • If yes: what are the perspectives for this development?

      • What are the dangers and possibilities with kitchen genetical biology.

      • Should it be regulated and how, if possible, could we do that?

    • If no: What are the obstacles for genetic manipulations at home?
