GM soybeans|[mdash]|revisiting a controversial format

Irina V. Ermakova

To the editor: I was grateful to you for inviting me to discuss some of my experimental results in Nature Biotechnology; however, the Feature entitled “[Genetically modified] GM soybeans and health safety—a controversy reexamined,” as published in the September issue, presents a flawed picture of my work. Although I thank Bruce Chassy, Val Giddings, Vivian Moses and Alan McHughen (Chassy et al.) for their detailed analysis of my work, remarks and recommendations, I am concerned that your readers will be misled by several of their comments.
