Control CRISPR design files

Instead of focusing only on physical lab materials, policy should treat CRISPR design artifacts (guide sequences, annotated protocols, and ready‑to‑run templates) as a regulated vector because they are the low‑cost lever that spreads capability. Controlling distribution (through publication norms, access credentials, or export‑style rules) would reduce rapid, decentralized misuse while still allowing legitimate research. — This reframes biosecurity debates toward information governance, shifting regulatory attention from wet‑lab containment to the digital supply chain of actionable genetic designs.
