GOVERNMENT ACTS ON BIOSECURITY.

The article reports that U.S. National Science Advisory Board for Biosecurity (NSABB) issued a policy on monitoring of dual-use life sciences research on March 29, 2012. The dual-use policy states that life sciences studies must be revised to prevent biosecurity worries, where it was made as a response to findings on bird flu mutations and transmissions. The policy and its linked NSABB documents were added on the National Institutes of Health Office of Biotechnology Activities webpage.
