Sch 1ATechniques that are not gene technology

Schedule 1A—Techniques that are not gene technology (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. |
