The article summarises advances in genome editing applications that show at-scale outdoor deployment outside of containment and controlled facilities is approaching feasibility, potentially exposing organisms to active biological agents and necessitating new risk assessment frameworks. […]

A study has found that CRISPR/Cas gene-editing unintentionally disrupts multiple gene functions in a way that is passed to successive cell generations. […] This briefing concludes that deregulating gene-edited organisms will inevitably compromise the ability of governments or trading blocs to protect biosecurity internally and across international borders. […] This proof-of-concept study that shows that genome-edited organisms can be detected in the food chain. […] This report concludes that gene editing remains slow, uncertain and largely unproven in delivering public benefits, despite claims that it would turbo-charge plant breeding. […] The integration of AI into genetic engineering (generative AI) raises concerns that plants with unsafe and undesirable traits may be engineered and released into the environment. […] This study developed analytical methods which allowed reliable detection of mutations introduced in plants made by new genomic techniques. […] – It is not productive or meaningful to genetically modify wild organisms solely based on the assumption of potential benefits and with uncertainty about possible harm. […] This briefing addresses ‘generative’ artificial intelligence (AI) tools, which are now being applied to generate novel digital sequences for GMOs and proteins. […] Using a new method of data evaluation, this study shows that unintentional changes from the use of CRISPR/Cas ‘gene scissors’ are different from random mutations and could present risks. […] |
