A Worldwide Experiments of Concern Resource Portal: Concept, Plan & Development TrajectoryAdvances in the life sciences offer important new ways of understanding and organizing DNA for human use, but also pose significant challenges to ensure that these uses do not include harmful ones, such as inadvertent or deliberate creation of dangerous new organisms ...
Report on Biosecurity and Dual Use Research
Report on Biosecurity and Dual Use Research A Report for the Dutch Research Council2011 •
This report focuses on the ethical and regulatory issues that arise in the biological sciences as a result of the dual use nature of research in these fields. On the one hand, biological research enables the creation of vaccines yet on the other the creation of new dangerous pathogens.

Synthetic genomics: options for governance2007 •
1 Executive summary ene and genome synthesis, that is, constructing long stretches of DNA from constituent chemicals, provides sci-entists with new and unparalleled capabilities, both for understanding biology and for using it for beneficial pur-poses. But along with new ...
This fourth edition of the manual builds on the risk assessment framework introduced in the third edition. A thorough, evidence-based and transparent assessment of the risks allows safety measures to be balanced with the actual risk of working with biological agents on a case-by-case basis. This will enable countries to implement economically feasible and sustainable laboratory biosafety and biosecurity policies and practices that are relevant to their individual circumstances and priorities.

From understanding to action: Community-based options for improving safety and security in synthetic biology2006 •
Executive Summary The vast majority of today's biosafety and biosecurity concerns predate synthethic biology and would be substantially the same even if this new field did not exist. Nevertheless synthetic biologists have an obligation to make sure that their work does not ...
