Genetic frontiers for conservation...synthesis and key messages

Complete Title: 
Genetic frontiers for conservation : an assessment of synthetic biology and biodiversity conservation : synthesis and key messages
IUCN Publication
Abstract: 

In recent years synthetic biology has emerged as a suite of techniques and technologies that enable humans to read, interpret, modify, design and manufacture DNA in order to rapidly influence the forms and functions of cells and organisms, with the potential to reach whole species and ecosystems. As synthetic biology continues to evolve, new tools emerge, novel applications are proposed, and basic research is applied. This assessment is one part of IUCN’s effort to provide recommendations and guidance regarding the potential positive and negative impacts of synthetic biology on biodiversity conservation; it comprises a full assessment and a short synthesis report.
