Gene Drives at Tipping Points : Precautionary Technology Assessment and Governance of New Approaches to Genetically Modify Animal and Plant Populations /

This open access book reports on a pilot project aiming at collecting information on the socio-ecological risks that could arise in the event of an uncontrolled spread of genetically engineered organisms into the environment. The researchers will, for instance, be taking a closer look at genetically...
