(regulation   4)

 

 

Item

Description of technique

1

Either of the following transfers, if the transfer does not involve genetically modified material:

(a) nuclear transfer;

(b) transfer of plastids or mitochondria.

2

Electromagnetic radiation - induced mutagenesis.

3

Particle radiation - induced mutagenesis.

4

Chemical - induced mutagenesis.

5

Fusion of animal cells, or human cells, if the fused cells are unable to form a viable whole animal or human.

Protoplast fusion, including fusion of plant protoplasts.

7

Embryo rescue.

8

In vitro fertilisation.

9

Zygote implantation.

10

A natural process, if the process does not involve genetically modified material.

Examples:   Examples of natural processes include conjugation, transduction, transformation and transposon mutagenesis.

11

Introduction of nucleic acid or nucleic acid analogue into an organism, if:

(a) the introduction of the nucleic acid or nucleic acid analogue does not result in an alteration of the organism's genome sequence; and

(b) the introduction of the nucleic acid or nucleic acid analogue cannot give rise to an infectious agent; and
