The US government is funding tech to determine whether genetic alterations in a virus or pest are an evolutionary quirk—or a lab-engineered danger.
Draper and Ginkgo's technologies are designed to detect these common signatures of engineering. Ginkgo’s software also relies on algorithms that compare the genome being analyzed against those in a huge database to determine whether it looks like an engineered or natural one. Draper’s device is meant to be deployed quickly in the field on single samples, while Ginkgo’s is designed to do large-scale analysis of many samples.
In a test Iarpa ran this spring and announced October 17, government scientists evaluated the technology on 100 samples of both engineered and natural organisms taken from a variety of places, including soil, mouse feces, and a cow’s stomach. Among these were 73 samples of bioengineered organisms, many of which were mixed with other organisms that weren’t engineered.
