Transgenic Research, 26(5), 709-7130962-8819http://hdl.handle.net/10400.14/25992In this consensus paper resulting from a meeting that involved representatives from more than 20 European partners, we recommend the foundation of an expert group (European Steering Committee) to assess the potential benefits and draw-backs of genome editing (off-targets, mosaicisms, etc.), and to design risk matrices and scenarios for a responsible use of this promising technology. In addition, this European steering committee will contribute in promoting an open debate on societal aspects prior to a translation into national and international legislation.engCRISPR-CasGene editingScience and societyResponsible research and innovationjournal article10.1007/s11248-017-0028-z1573-93688502513486128730514000410925700012
