This document summarizes the issues surrounding gene patenting on an international level. It begins by discussing the US scenario where natural DNA is considered unpatentable but cDNA and recombinant DNA can be patented. In the EU, genes can be patented if they are novel and industrially applicable. The document then discusses the impacts of gene patenting on research, the economy, and patients. It concludes that while IP protection is important for industry growth, parameters are needed to protect individual ownership and ensure technology access for patients in light of ethical concerns regarding genes as natural products.

Session 1: Strengthening border biosecurity Improving - Post Entry Quarantine...

This document summarizes a presentation on using next generation sequencing (NGS) to improve virus and viroid detection for plants in post-entry quarantine (PEQ). Current PEQ diagnostic methods are slow and can miss pathogens. The presentation describes how NGS allows rapid and reliable detection of viruses without prior knowledge. A project found viruses in 68% of plant samples tested using NGS compared to traditional methods. NGS could reduce PEQ time from over 2 years to 6-12 months. Industry representatives expressed support but want more validation before fully adopting NGS for high-stakes pathogen testing and certification schemes. The project aims to provide more evidence and training to facilitate adoption of NGS for improving plant biosecurity.

Animal Repellent System for Smart Farming Using AI and Deep Learning

This document summarizes a research paper on developing an animal repellent system for smart farming using artificial intelligence and deep learning. The system uses a camera to collect animal data, which is then classified using a deep convolutional neural network model trained on the data. It can identify different animal species in real-time. When an animal is detected, it sends an alert message and produces the appropriate ultrasonic frequency to repel that species. Testing on an animal dataset showed the CNN achieved over 98% accuracy in identifying animals. The system provides a real-time monitoring solution using AI to help farmers prevent crop damage from animals.
