The following is an editorial summary.
Genetically modified organisms are a widespread technology. Don’t believe me? See for yourself on this handy Google Map. Put together by the folks at KQED Science (QUEST), this Google map provides virtual push-pins and short summaries of all the major GM crops and animals in development around the world.
Some notable entries include the fast-growing AquAdvantage salmon, vitamin-enhanced Golden rice, and the nearly-extinct American chestnut.
Don’t take our word for it: play around with the map to get a sense of just how widespread and varied the genetically modified menagerie is.
