The Biological Safety Committee’s approval is required prior to the initiation of rDNA experiments. Additional information is available in the Overview of Work with Recombinant DNA (rDNA). Complete the Recombinant DNA or Synthetic Nucleic Acid Molecules Registration to register your rDNA work or to update your registration if the scope of your work changes. Review the NIH Guidelines for Research Involving Recombinant or Synthetic Nucleic Acid Molecules for more information.
