Genetic Engineering: Innovation and legislative landscape

As I mentioned in the first blog post this year, I am currently writing my master’s thesis together with my colleague Sina Keshavarzi in Indianapolis, USA. We are exploring the biotech sub-market of biofuels where genetic engineering of organisms provides tremendous potential for leverage. As a part of this study, I have today mapped out the innovation and legislative landscape for genetic engineering in a diagram that I thought that I would post here hoping for some feedback on what else to include. Click on it for better resolution. Please let me know what you think!
