Pathway 44 Animal health: Potential toxicological effects of dsxFCRISPRh transgenics on NTOs could increase disease transmission in livestock. Bioinformatic and literature evidence of any toxicity of DsRed and Cas9 in the analysis plan will likely be more targeted towards outcomes in humans but nonetheless will contribute to weight of evidence supporting or refuting this pathway. Defining the experimental conditions and choices of indicator species for chronic and acute studies will most likely involve discussion with national regulators, with reference to international regulatory guidance and best practice [26, 95]
