An ad hoc committee appointed by the National Academies to explore heritable genetic modifications of food animals. This committee will address methods for heritable genetic modifications and identify risks and health hazards to humans, animals, and the environment. Furthermore, this study will identify challenges associated with long term effects of heritable genetic modifications and identification of study design challenges when researching heritable genetic modifications in food animals.
