On the one hand, I really don't want it to be true. On the other hand, I'd rather have it be a lab mistake than some random mutation, as the former is at least something that can be reduced in the future. I wouldn't be surprised if this leads to a moratorium on types research of some kind. I mean, this has been the nightmare scenario for gene research, too.
