The Decision Support System for Safety Assessment of Genetically Modified Crop Plants (DTREE) is intended to be used as a tool to preserve, disseminate and interpret available data and information regarding releases of genetically modified crop plants into the environment. It is also intended to enhance familiarity with environmental introductions of transgenic crops and provide information support to regulatory authorities, researchers and biosafety officers of public institutions and commercial enterprises. |

The Decision Support Toolbox for Biosafety Implementation is designed to assist policy makers, biosafety managers and other stakeholders in understanding and applying a biosafety framework for capacity-building and regulatory decision making. |

GMO Risk Assessment Using Net Fitness Components Approach. This program is a prototype for a model developed by Muir and Howard for use with transgenic fish, and is based on a reduction of overall fitness to six critical control points: juvenile and adult viability, age at sexual maturity, female fecundity, male fertility, and mating success. These components were incorporated into a mathematical model that integrates them into a single prediction of risk |

The Performance Standards for Safely Conducting Research with Genetically Modified Fish and Shellfish program was developed by the USA Department of Agriculture (USDA) as a tool for assessing and managing risks posed by the research conducted with GM fish and shellfish referring to the Performance Standards elaborated by the USDA Agricultural Biotechnology Research Advisory Committee. To facilitate the use of Performance Standards, a computer-based decision support tool has been developed, consisting of a program that automatically generates a trace of the user’s path through the decision questions, thereby automating the completion of a worksheet. |
