This TWN/GeneWatch UK briefing 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 Bisoafety’s definition of a living modified organism (LMO), whether they involve inserting, deleting or editing sequences of genomes.

This TWN Biosafety Briefing addresses the issue of oversight of GE research in the US, with recommendations for rectifying the numerous problems. […] Our understanding of any potential adverse impacts of gene drive organisms on the environment or human health is limited by critical knowledge gaps and uncertainties with regard to both intended and unintended effects, preventing conduct of robust and reliable risk assessments. […] There is an urgent need for effective international and legally binding regulation of gene drive organisms (GDOs). […] Biosafety briefing_gene drives key elements_FRENCH Biosafety briefing_gene drives summary_FRENCH New GE techniques such as genome editing and new delivery techniques have facilitated an emerging trend to genetically engineer organisms in the wild, essentially converting the environment into the laboratory. […] Biosafety briefing_gene rives key elements Biosafety briefing_ gene drives summary New TWN book on the legal and regulatory aspects relating to gene drive organisms (GDOs). […] |
