The ICGEB "Biosafety Database" is a bibliographic, searchable index of scientific articles (full references + abstracts) on biosafety and risk assessment for the environmental release of genetically modified organisms (GMOs). The database collects articles published since 1990, on international, peer reviewed, scientific journals and it is free available at http://www.icgeb.org/biosafety/bsfdata1.htm

The ICGEB "Biosafety Database" is managed by the ICGEB Biosafety Unit and monthly updated. All the records are selected and classified by ICGEB scientists in accordance with the main "Topics of concern for the environmental release of genetically modified organisms (GMOs)" available at
http://www.icgeb.org/biosafety/bsfconc.htm

All the records contained in the database are extracted from CAB  ABSTRACT(tm) through an automated query. Further information on biosafety and biotechnology is also available from AgBiotechNet the CABI online service covering agricultural biotechnology.
