The main impression I am getting is that there would be many experiments, from many different parties, done on the CGM -from the useless to the creepy to the outright immoral.
I think we have seen how the biomolding, the Catboy machine, and other related weirdnesses appeared: each was the end result of some experiment. But since they were the result of many different experiment by unrelated groups, it will take years until they are well known all over fenspace. Thats' why even if they were there in 2014 it does not change the story of Jenga or Liberatrix: Jenga is not really interested in the biological sciences until after the Pam mission, and Liberatrix spent its first years in some isolation recovering from trauma.
The one restriction I think we should add is for the biomolding: Each particular type of biomold needs a specific machine -so there is the catboy machine and the Puma machine, but they are two different machines.
