Technical note: (1) Genetically-modified organisms include organisms in which the nucleic acid sequences have been created or altered by deliberate molecular manipulation. (2) Genetic elements include, inter alia: chromosomes, genomes, plasmids, transposons, vectors, and inactivated organisms containing recoverable nucleic acid fragments, whether genetically modified or unmodified, or chemically synthesized in whole or in part. For the purposes of the genetic elements control, nucleic acids from an inactivated organism, virus, or sample are considered recoverable if the inactivation and preparation of the material is intended or known to facilitate isolation, purification, amplification, detection, or identification of nucleic acid(s). (3) Endow or enhance pathogenicity is defined as when the insertion or integration of the nucleic acid sequence(s) are likely to enable or increase a recipient organism's ability to be used to deliberately cause disease or death. This might include alterations to (not limited to) inter alia: virulence, transmissibility, stability, route of infection, host range, reproducibility, ability to evade or suppress host immunity, resistance to medical countermeasures, or detectability.’ D.
