Dear Friends and Colleagues
Why genome edited organisms are not excluded from the Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety
We are pleased to share the Spanish, French, Portuguese and Italian translations of the new TWN/GeneWatch UK Biosafety Briefing, which sets out to show that currently deployed genome editing technologies and applications, including all techniques involving CRISPR-based systems, clearly fall within the Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety’s definition of a living modified organism (LMO), whether they involve inserting, deleting or editing sequences of genomes.
The Briefings are available here:
Biosafety Briefing English
