Not sure how this relates at all to genetic modifications…let alone it bring the same concept…
OK kind of a stretch there. It's just that changing anything at the molecular level by just a small amount can result in completely different properties in the final product. Just small amount of spidroin changes silkworm silk dramatically like a small change in carbon content changes the properties of steel dramatically. I machined many different kinds of steel my whole life. Seemed like an apt comparison to me. I don't care what they call it either. I just want them to sell it.
