Opinion: Where are the guidelines for the production of animals with intentional genomic alterations?

STAT News

Genetic engineering has the potential to transform how we raise animals for meat and other products, making food safer, improving animal health and welfare, and shrinking animal agriculture’s environmental footprint. Pigs that are less likely to induce allergic reactions in humans.

Bringing in Light Genome Editing Techniques: ZFN, TALEN and Meganucleases

Roots Analysis

Gene engineering based on recombination was pioneered in the mid-1990s; Currently, development of gene editing technologies has opened up the possibility of modifying genomic sequences in both eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms. Genome Editing is a way of making changes in the DNA.

Why do Community Members Need to Participate in IBC Review Meetings?

WCG Clinical

1 This is an important requirement, as the NIH Guidelines were originally created partly in response to public concerns surrounding recombinant DNA and genetic engineering. Many of those original concerns of the 1970s and 1980s surrounding genetic engineering have lessened over time.
