(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. |
6 | 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 (c) in the case of nucleic acid or nucleic acid analogue that is DNA--the DNA cannot be transcribed. |
