A: No. Our practice is based on the safety guidelines detailed below. Our project doesn’t involve pathogenic microorganisms or producing any dangerous products and none of the modifications are pathogenic. So the project will not raise any safety issues in terms of these three concepts.

1.Question: Would any of your project ideas raise safety issues in terms of:
- researcher safety,
- public safety, or
- environmental safety?

Answer: No. Our practice is based on the safety guidelines detailed below. Our project doesn’t involve pathogenic microorganisms or producing any dangerous products and none of the modifications are pathogenic. So the project will not raise any safety issues in terms of these three concepts. As to the researcher safety, all of our researchers were trained well and pasted the safety test before we carry out our project in the laboratory. Besides, all of our biomaterials are well disposed to be environmentally friendly. All of our work is performed under the approval of Pathogenic Microbiology Laboratory Bio-safety Regulations of China and the Biological Experimental Safety Regulations of Wuhan University (WHU).

2.Question: Do any of the new BioBrick parts (or devices) that you made this year raise any safety issues? If yes,
- did you document these issues in the Registry?
- how did you manage to handle the safety issue?
- How could other teams learn from your experience?

Answer: No, all of the BioBricks we sent or intended to send were made from DNA parts usually used in our host lab, they are all considered BSL1 with no particular safety issues.

3.Question:Is there a local biosafety group, committee, or review board at your institution?
- If yes, what does your local biosafety group think about your project?
- If no, which specific biosafety rules or guidelines do you have to consider in your country?

Answer:Yes, at Wuhan University, we have our own biosafety group which give guidelines to all of our work in the laboratory. Such guidelines include safety issues on laboratory safety, public safety, environmental safety, etc. For example, in our institution’s own biosafety rules, we should obey the following: Laboratory coveralls, gowns or uniforms must be worn at all times for work in the laboratory;Eating, drinking, smoking, applying cosmetics and handling contact lenses is prohibited in the laboratory working areas;Laboratory furniture should be sturdy. Open spaces between and under benches, cabinets and equipment should be accessible for cleaning;Only authorized persons should be allowed to enter the laboratory working areas. and laboratory doors should be kept closed. These are just a part of the guidelines, regrettably, we do not have a link to them online, instead, they are printed into brochures and each member of us has one.
Before we carried out our experiments, the professors helped to confirm the safety of the project. They also supervised our experimental safety and gave us guidelines.
We have already discussed our project with the professors in the committee. During the discussion, they showed their concern about how we deal with the materials after utilization and how we deal with the product we make. Finally, we decided that the biomaterials should be deposed immediately to make sure that they will do no harm to human or environment. For example, reagents will be poured into specific waste tanks, which are classified into poisonous or innocuous. The innocuous ones are deposed directly, while the poisonous ones are handed over to professional companies for sequent disposal
