【单选题】Education and awareness-raising of dual-use risks are biosecurity measures suggested to aid prevention. Among the measures needed to deal with an attack already produced, strategies to _______________...
【简答题】Synthetic biology itself can provide new effective biosecurity mechanisms, such as synthetic auxotrophies, ______________________ or ingenious genetic circuits.
【判断题】Synthetic biology is a field in constant and rapid development, so discussions on biosafety and biosecurity should evolve as old data are obtained and potential risks are identified.

【多选题】Which of the following statements about "IASB: Technical Solutions for Biosecurity in Synthetic Biology (2008)" are correct?
A.
The assembly of artificial DNA into functional genes and the production of proteins from such genes is available as a highly standardized commercial service. This international industry currently fills thousands of orders for whole genes and millions of orders for short oligonucleotides each day.
B.
In some instances, these orders comprise DNA sequences derived from pathogenic organisms, and in rare cases from pathogens with an extremely high mortality rate, such as the Ebola virus.
C.
The most frequently cited lists of biological agents with potential to pose a severe threat to public health and safety are published by the US Federal Register, FDA, NIAID, CDC, by the American and European Societies for Microbiology and by the WHO.
D.
There exist of course a number of national regulations that deal with biosecurity. Most countries, including the USA and EU members, have legislation in place for the limitation of the export of dual use goods. This includes synthetic DN
【单选题】The measures that currently govern biosecurity issues are prior to synthetic biology. Given the risks posed by this discipline, these existing regulations must be revisited, updated and, if necessary,...
