Establishing a UK best practice approach for ethical standards in genomics research.

Providing fresh insight into people’s views on precision breeding and its implications for farmed animals and our food systems.

Examining the social and ethical issues raised by the potential use of genome editing technologies in farmed animal breeding.

A commissioned rapid online dialogue exploring public views on emerging technologies.

This report sets out guiding principles for ethical use, and recommendations for policy and practice should genome editing become available as a reproductive option for prospective parents.

Whole genome sequencing is cheaper and faster than ever, but interpreting the results is difficult, time-consuming, and expensive. Find out about the ethical issues raised.

This report considers how NIPT could change the way we view pregnancy, disability and difference, and what the wider consequences of its increasing use might be.

Genome editing techniques are transforming many areas of biological research. This review considers the impact of recent advances in genome editing and the range of ethical questions to which they give rise.

This report looks at the ethical issues raised by data use in biomedical research and health care, and sets out key ethical principles for the design and governance of data initiatives.
