	Calling the latest gene technologies ‘natural’ is a semantic distraction — they must still be regulated J. A. Heinemann, D. J. Paull, S. Walker and B. Kurenbach, The Conversation, 2021. Legislators around the world are being asked to reconsider how to regulate the latest developments in gene technology, genome editing and gene silencing. Both the European Court of Justice and the New Zealand High Court have ruled that genome editing techniques should remain ...

	‘Nigeria has capacity for safe application of modern biotechnology’ M. Adewale, The Guardian, 2021. Director-general of the National Biosafety Management Agency (NBMA), Dr. Rufus Ebegba, has declared that Nigeria has the capacity to deploy safe biotechnology products for agricultural development and environmental safety. Ebegba, who gave the assurance at the opening of a ...

	Differentiated impacts of human interventions on nature: Scaling the conversation on regulation of gene technologies J. A. Heinemann, D. J. Paull, S. Walker and B. Kurenbach, Elementa: Science of the Anthropocene, 9. 2021. Biotechnology describes a range of human activities in medicine, agriculture, and environmental management. One biotechnology in particular, gene technology, continues to evolve both in capacity and potential to benefit and harm society. The purpose of this article is to offer a ...

	The value of existing regulatory frameworks for the environmental risk assessment of agricultural pest control using gene drive J. Romeis, J. Collatz, D. C. M. Glandorf and M. B. Bonsall, Environmental Science & Policy, 108:19-36. 2020. The application of (synthetic) gene drives is a powerful tool to control populations of insects that are agricultural pests, vectors of diseases, or a threat to biodiversity potentially leading to the local or global eradication of a species. The potential use of gene drive ...

	The EU regulatory framework on genetically modified organisms (GMOs) Bruetschy, C, Transgenic Research, 28:169-174. 2019. The European Union (EU) legislation on genetically modified organisms (GMOs) aims to ensure a high level of protection for human, animal and environmental health and a well-functioning EU internal market. The framework regulates the release of GMOs into the environment and their ...
