Abstract

Genome editing is one of the powerful tools that has been applied to the improvement of plants, animals and microorganisms, and human therapy. The regulation of genome editing products vary among nations. Here we summarize the legislation of genome editing in different nations to let people know how genome editing products have been regulated in different nations. Additionally, the departments responsible for genome editing regulation in each nation are provided in this review.
