Gene technology bill delayed again; PM says 'it's complicated' Parliament's health committee was supposed to report back on the legislation last month, but this has now been extended twice.

National believed New Zealand was an outlier with Australia, Canada, and UK already embracing #GeneTech.

Did National overlook New Zealand being an outlier on #RightToRepair too with Australia, Canada, UK and parts of USA on board?

Splitting gene tech law could lessen economic risks to NZ Opinion: Bundling widely-supported applications of gene science with much more risky uses in the outdoors fails to properly protect NZ Inc from harm, writes Simon Terry

Simon Terry of Sustainability Council NZ floats splitting the Bill:
1 - on #GeneTech applications in medicine, lab research + industrially fermented foods.
2 - on outdoor use of genetic modification (GM).

Economic + business risks to farmers if 2 done poorly. #NZpol

NZ bill proposes shift in how #GeneTech is regulated. Goes from EPA to a new regulator to issue licences. No required engagement re Treaty of Waitangi principles. Regulator to consider advice from Māori Advisory Committee only. HT @newsroom.co.nz #NZpol

How to build the virtual cell with artificial intelligence: Priorities and opportunities Advances in AI and omics enable the creation of AI virtual cells (AIVCs)—multi-scale, multimodal neural network models that simulate molecules, cells, and tissues across diverse states. This vision outlines their design and collaborative development, promising to transform biological research through high-fidelity simulations, accelerating discoveries, and fostering interdisciplinary open science collaborations.

Interesting to see virtual cells back in the news. The full realisation of this epic ambition is of course someway off, however it's going to be a driver for AI applied to omics data. Good to see #openscience highlighted #AIVC #stanford #CZI #genetech
