[DIYbio] Re: Policy and Regulations of GMOs

Tito, There are 5 levels of organisms you coud work with.

S0 means it's unregulated. Like looking into a frog, dissecring a cow eye, breeding (potential mycotoxin containing) mould and fungi.

S1 is for GMOs that don't pose a risk.

S2 is for gmos / organisms which may cause a weak risk.

S3 for organisms which cause a risk (Ebola) but the mechsnism of infection is known, so you can protect yourself properly

S4 for unknown pathogens (you get to wear a space suit within S4 labs)


I think we all agree all above S1 isn't DIY Bio anymore
