Hi everyone,
-- My brain bred a new idea.
Everything that has to do with genetic engineering here in Europe is regarded as bad, dangerous. People with pitchforks and torches will come and get you. The law forbids genetic engineering outside of certified labs.
But there is one exception. If you do like cisgenetic engineering - take an E coli gene into E coli or apple gene into apple, it is termed "self-cloning" (in Austria and Germany at least) and is unregulated. Now I want to find a native blue apple pigment, overexpress it very very much, so that the apples turns blue. Fun thing - this is unregulated! I even think I have an apple gene that detoxes kanamycin - so I have a selectable marker!
Or maybe I engineer banana and switch off the yellow gene? add much more yellow? Enhance vitaminC content of apples?
Seems everything is possible now. Perfect tiny loophole. A colour would be nice to start with!
Does anyone know where to start? Anyone ever had to do with apple pigments? :D
