[edit] What is it
Brief abstract of the emerging technology
Military Genetics can be used to make biological weapons deadlier or more targeted, or both. Genetics can be used to make soldiers stronger, smarter or more productive
[edit] Impact & Maturity assessment
It is now possible to write useful information into the DNA of a plant and have that information replicated in a future generation of the plant. The application of information technology to the science of genetics will have an Impact Level of 3, although the information assurance issues may well mirror the impacts on the larger society as a whole. We estimate the Maturity Level at 2, as despite a growing number of actors, the offerings are still fairly rudimentary.
