Working Papers for Synthetic Genomics: Risks and Benefits for Science and Society

Abstract

The following papers were commissioned for the project Synthetic Genomics: Risks and Benefits for Science and Society. These papers formed the basis of many discussions at project workshops and at a large invitational meeting. The information elicited from these meetings, and from the commissioned papers themselves, formed the basis of our report Synthetic Genomics: Options for Governance (http://dspace.mit.edu/handle/1721.1/39141).

The views and opinions expressed in these commissioned papers are those of the authors of the papers and not necessarily those of the authors of the report, or of the institutions at which the authors work.
