What are the “LMO”, “Gene & DNA sequence” and “Organism” registries?
The LMO Registry provides summary information on all living modified organisms (LMOs) registered in the BCH including transformation events, genetic modifications, and the unique identification code (if available) for each record. Links to all decisions and Risk assessment reports that refer to these organisms are accessible through the registry. The Gene & DNA sequence Registry provides summary information on gene inserts and characteristics of the genetic modifications of the LMOs registered in the BCH. The Organisms Registry includes those organisms that have been registered with the BCH as parental, recipient or donor organisms. Each record provides further information about relevant biological characteristics, including information on taxonomic status, common name, origin, centre of origin and centre of genetic diversity. Links to relevant LMO records are provided at the bottom of each individual record.
