[DIYbio] Re: *experienced* beginner is creating a bioluminescent plant - both synbio and old-fashioned way


Yes, if it's from A.thaliana, then you can use it without a license in 
most EU states as it doesn't count as "Transgenic". 

And no, there's no generational lapse to GMO status in Europe. Once 
you put the black magic in, EU law regards it as black magic forever. 
However, you can undergo a process of "deregulation" for GMOs, if you 
can "prove" that it's totally safe. In practise, doing so is harder 
than getting a drug approved, and in most countries it's ruinously 
expensive. So, it virtually never happens: the only guys who can 
afford to do it are the guys the law was written by idiots to impede: 
megacorps. 

Didn't know that!


But this would be amazing if possible! 

Can it also be called "cisgenic" with some very common markers (GFP or Lux)? Or is that absolutely impossible??
