Open Source Biotech ist leider in Wahrheit Open Source Gentech.
erst vor wenigen Tagen gelauncht:
https://www.bioforge.net/
Ich wei§ nicht ob das eine gute Nachricht ist! Gentech ist insgesamt ein
sehr problematisches Gebiet. Oder sollen wir froh sein, da§ die Dinge
offen und damit nachpr?fbar passieren?
Meinungen??

wie auch immer - der Ansatz ist wieder mal etwas verschieden:
. To foster innovation that can be improved and used, the BioForge aims to
build a protected commons in which you may share your ideas and data so
that you and others can continue to build on them and improve them, but no
user appropriates them and prevents other members of the BioForge
community from building on them. The BioForge community is instead
creating intellectual property within a protected commons, in which
information may still be patentable and can certainly be used for making
profitable products, but should be available to other creative members of
the community to improve. Thus, users may patent improvements that they
invent, but must agree not to enforce those patents against other members
of the BioForge community.

THE computing industry has been transformed by open-source software,
threatening business models while creating lucrative opportunities for
some firms. Might the same happen in biotechnology? In a paper published
in Nature on February 10th, a group of researchers describe a way to
transfer genes into plants that bypasses the now most commonly used
technique, agrobacterium transformation, which is protected by hundreds
of patents.â?¦

Open-source gene transfer (Nature)
posted Thursday February 10, @11:12PM
BioForge has gone live! View the Press Kit or go to the BioForge site.
Control of the biotechnology involved in producing genetically modified
crops is concentrated in the hands of a few multinational companies, in
part because of the complex web of patents involved. A group at CAMBIA,
the Center for the Application of Molecular Biology for International
Agriculture in Australia, set out to untangle this web and make the
technology more widely available by developing a work-around for a key
enabling technology in plant biotechnology, Agrobacterium-mediated
transformation. They found that other species of benign bacteria can be
modified in a surprisingly simple way to do the same job, and the
resulting gene transfer technology is to be made available on an 'open
source' basis as part of the recently launched BIOS initiative (Nature
431, 494; 2004).
