New TWN book on the legal and regulatory aspects relating to gene drive organisms (GDOs). […] Risky genetically modified (GM) “male-sterile” mosquitoes are due to be released in the very near future, in Burkina Faso by the Target Malaria research consortium. However, Target Malaria acknowledges that there are no benefits to the proposed GM mosquito release. […] The Briefing Paper addresses how the combination of advanced sequencing and synthesis technologies afforded by synthetic biology is transforming access to genetic resources. […] This booklet looks at the multilateral treaties that apply to various aspects of synthetic biology, including, most notably, the Convention on Biological Diversity and its Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety. […] Drawing upon research carried out in one of the largest cotton-growing areas in Burkina Faso, this paper documents the country’s shortlived, less-than-successful experience with Bt cotton cultivation, and explores the possible reasons behind the debacle, including commercial interest in pushing the corporate-owned Bt technology. […] We are pleased to share with you a preliminary analysis by Third World Network on the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement (TPPA) and concerns over the possible contamination of Malaysia’s food supply with unapproved and illegal genetically modified organisms (GMOs). […] NThis Biosafety Briefing focuses on GM crops engineered to utilise RNA interference. Such GMOs present a unique set of risks as compared with those generated with classical transgenic approaches. […] This Biosafety Briefing examines the biosafety aspects of genome-editing techniques, including the CRISPR system. […] |
