GENE TECHNOLOGY REGULATIONS 2004 (NO 17 OF 2004) - SCHEDULE 1

Schedule 1     Organisms that are not genetically modified organisms

(see reg 5)

Part 1.1     Organisms

column 1 item	column 2 description of organism
1	a mutant organism in which the mutational event did not involve the introduction of any foreign nucleic acid (that is, non-homologous DNA, usually from another species)
2	a recombinant organism formed through integration into chromosomal or extrachromosomal DNA sequences of a genetic element that—         (a)     occurs naturally in the species concerned; and         (b)     moves sporadically between genome sites
3	an organism that—         (a)     results from the fusion of 2 animal cells; and         (b)     is unable to form a viable whole animal Example organisms of the kind described include hybridomas created to produce monoclonal antibodies Note     An example is part of the Act, is not exhaustive and may extend, but does not limit, the meaning of the provision in which it appears (see Legislation Act, s 126 and s 132).
4	an organism that results from protoplast fusion involving only non-pathogenic bacteria or non-pathogenic yeast
5	a plant formed by—         (a)     embryo rescue; or         (b)     in-vitro fertilisation; or         (c)     zygote implantation; or         (d)     protoplast fusion
6	an organism that results from an exchange of DNA if—         (a)     the donor species is also the host species; and         (b)     the vector DNA does not contain any heterologous DNA
7	an organism that results from an exchange of DNA between the donor species and the host species if—         (a)     such exchange can occur by naturally occurring processes; and         (b)     the donor species and the host species are both mentioned in the same group in part 1.2; and         (c)     the vector used in the exchange does not contain heterologous DNA from any organism other than an organism that is involved in the exchange
