National authorities have identified the following techniques for consideration by the group:
![]() | Oligonucleotide Directed Mutagenesis (ODM) |
![]() | Zinc Finger Nuclease Technology (ZFN) comprising ZFN-1, ZFN-2 and ZFN-3; |
![]() | Cisgenesis comprising Intragenesis; |
![]() | Grafting; |
![]() | Agro-infiltration; |
![]() | RNA-dependent DNA methylation (RdDM); |
![]() | Reverse breeding; |
![]() | Synthetic genomics. |
EFSA has issued an opinion on the risks of these techniques starting with cisgenesis and intragenesis. The Commission and EU countries are clarifying the legal status of these techniques.
