Appendices Appendix 1: OECD List-based Definition of Biotechnology Techniques Biotechnology has been defined by the OECD as: “The application of science and technology to living organisms, as well as parts, products or models thereof, to alter living or non-living materials for the production of knowledge, goods or materials.” 1. DNA/RNA: Genomics, pharmacogenomics, gene probes, genetic engineering, DNA/RNA sequencing/synthesis/amplification, gene expression profiling, and use of antisense technology. 2. Proteins and other molecules: Sequencing/synthesis/engineering of proteins and peptides (including large molecule hormones); improved delivery methods for large molecule drugs; proteomics, protein isolation and purification, signalling, identification of cell receptors. 3. Cell and tissue culture and engineering: Cell/tissue culture, tissue engineering (including tissue scaffolds and biomedical engineering), cellular fusion, vaccine/immune stimulants, embryo manipulation. 4. Process biotechnology techniques: Fermentation using bioreactors, bioprocessing, bioleaching, biopulping, biobleaching, biodesulphurisation, bioremediation, biofiltration and phytoremediation. 5. Gene and RNA vectors: Gene therapy, viral vectors. 30 6. Bioinformatics: Construction of databases on genomes, protein sequences; modelling complex biological processes, including systems biology. 7. Nanobiotechnology: Applies the tools and processes of nano/microfabrication to build devices for studying biosystems and applications in drug delivery, diagnostics etc.
