Abstract: (283 Views) |
Gene drive technology is one of the modern technologies that have many potential uses in the agriculture, industries and medical sciences. Like other technologies, this technology has some biosafety issues related to human and animal health and the environment. These issues were discussed in this article. The most important issue is related to changing in Mendelian inheritance template in filial generations and distribution of a specific allele in a local population. Moreover, adequacy of the national and international laws and regulations related to GMOs for gene-drived organisms, and also the risk assessment methods for gene-drived organisms including identification of possible risks of the gene-drive technology and containment of the gene-drived organisms during field experiment were discussed. In the following, the possible risks in release of gene-drived organisms were considered and some related aspects including the risks related to pathogen control, the risks related to invasive species control, the risks related to control agricultural pests, and the other social and economic dimensions were investigated. |
