During this time, a number of questions have cropped up concerning the potential consequences that certain GEOs might have on natural or managed ecosystems and human health. Interest in developing methods to confine some GEOs and their transgenes to specifically designated release settings has increased and the success of these efforts could facilitate the continued growth and development of this technology. Biological Confinement of Genetically Engineered Organisms examines biological methods that may be used with genetically engineered plants, animals, microbes, and fungi. Bioconfinement methods have been applied successfully to a few non-engineered organisms, but many promising techniques remain in the conceptual and experimental stages of development. This book reviews and evaluates these methods, discusses when and why to consider their use, and assesses how effectively they offer a significant reduction of the risks engineered organisms can present to the environment. Interdisciplinary research to develop new confinement methods could find ways to minimize the potential for unintended effects on human health and the environment. Need for this type of research is clear and successful methods could prove helpful in promoting regulatory approval for commercialization of future genetically engineered organisms.Transgenic organismsSafety measuresConfinement farmsAgricultural biotechnologyInfertility in animalsTransgenic organismsRisk assessmentTransgenic organismsSafety measures.Confinement farms.Agricultural biotechnology.Infertility in animals.Transgenic organismsRisk assessment.577/.18National Research Council (U.S.).Committee on Biological Confinement of Genetically Engineered Organisms.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910957497903321Biological confinement of genetically engineered organisms4364550UNINA
