There is real interest in biometric design for multi-environment trials of edited lines right now, and real uncertainty about exactly
where it delivers the most value. We pull together the current evidence for biometric design for multi-environment trials of edited
lines, covering the methodological, practical, regulatory and cost angles, with an eye on where practice has genuinely settled and
where researchers and regulators are still largely working it out for themselves. Selective, context-specific adoption looks better
supported by the evidence gathered here than either broad rollout or blanket avoidance
