    We need this technology to control genetic pollution before an complete genetic takeover occurs. Muufri is providing technical assistance to this project. The future production of beef without cows will cut the supply of milk. Muufri found an way to produce synthetic milk. There will be no need to abuse animals for food, see "lab-grown burgers just got a lot cheaper!"  Mankind needs to control genetic pollution to fix any mistake that we make. We need it to prevent future control of the human race thru seeds & the threat of starvation.

    If it exists, I can find it. The solution to your problem is explained in "An exogenous chloroplast genome for complex sequence manipulation in algae" Basically, you use another living organism with the desired gene sequence to transfer it into the GMO. The catalyst organism is isolated from the food supply. The DNA & pollen is left alone. Your idea is ingenious. This modification needs to be done at the seed level. Keep up the good work.
