thus, in her previously mentioned new york times article, denise caruso asserted ed of a network genome shatters the scientific basis for virtually every risk assessment of today's biotech products from genetically-engineered crops to pharmaceuticals. now, it's important to emphasize that caruso's comments were made without even taking the evidence from computer science into consideration. so when that powerful body of knowledge is additionally taken into account, it's clear that the g.e. food venture is not only seriously unsound, but downright reckless. but what about the new modes of manipulating genomes such as crisper cass9 that are more precise than the former versions of genetic engineering? well, from the standpoint of computer science, the answer still has to be no. no, they're more precise is, but they're certainly not precise enough. these techniques can produce accidental, off-target effects. further, as is the case with the previous modes of genetic engineering, in order to transform the alteredded plant cells into seed-bearing plants, something has to be done. now, this is
