New genomic techniques (NGT) can cause unintended genetic changes, thereby carrying higher risks than earlier assumed. […] A report published by the Scientific Council of the French National Agency that deals with GMO and pesticide authorizations describes the mechanisms used by industry to ensure that the opinions published are not (too) negative. […] For the first time, CRISPR genome editing techniques have been found to induce ‘catastrophic’ DNA damage, including whole chromosomal loss and other unintended changes, in tomatoes. […] This report illuminates the tactics Monsanto used to manipulate the science for decades, and how it attacked scientists and journalists who raised concerns about its top selling herbicide, glyphosate. […] This article explains why assertions that GM gene-edited plants and animals don’t contain any foreign genetic material in their genomes are baseless. […] This meta-analysis reveals a range of unintended genomic outcomes of current and next generation GM techniques in plants, which raises biosafety concerns. However, analytical methods to detect these changes need to be improved. […] New genomic techniques should be strictly regulated according to the Precautionary Principle in order to protect consumers from risks, guarantee freedom of choice and prevent damage to ecosystems and biodiversity. […] Civil society organisations around the globe demand a moratorium on genetically engineered gene drives at UN Biodiversity Conference […] A group of international scientists and policy experts have published a statement opposing the use of the term “precision breeding” to describe gene or genome editing. […] This recent study shows how changes in a single ‘keystone gene’ can have far-reaching consequences for ecosystems, an issue of relevance for new GE techniques. […] |
