The Ministry of education presented a plan for "all-Russian classifier of transformational events", which is intended to encode information about GMOs.
The label is a digital code, which encrypted information about transforming DNA and about the body of the recipient. The text of the document is laid out on a Single portal, which publishes the draft regulations.
The code, which is planned to encrypt information on GMOs, consists of 5 digital fields. There is specified the type of organism (animals, plants, microorganisms), the informant and the view made the DNA coding and regulatory sequences, the presence of genes coding for toxins, information on a selective symptoms, on the localization of products of transgenic DNA, also on the degree of mobility made nucleotide sequences.
Classifier is intended only to inform about GMOs and will not apply to organisms created by the methods of hybridization, selection and mutagenesis using all mutagens and genetic systems, not associated with the introduction of alien DNA".
One of the digital field means "the presence of skill for the safe use of the recipient organism", but about the sources of such information in the document is not directly stated. In the case of "GMO-code" is a hyperlink to the database of the Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety, but the mandatory use of the information in the project is not written. Russia does not put his signature to this agreement, in which today will take part 166 States.
