Compositional studies comparing transgenic crops with non-transgenic crops are almost universally required by governmental regulatory bodies to support the safety assessment of new transgenic crops. Here we discuss the assumptions that led to this requirement and lay out the theoretical and empirical evidence suggesting that such studies are no more necessary for evaluating the safety of transgenic crops than they are for traditionally bred crops.
政府监管机构几乎普遍要求进行将转基因作物与非转基因作物进行比较的成分研究，以支持对新转基因作物的安全性评估。在此，我们讨论导致这一要求的假设，并列出理论和实证证据，表明此类研究对于评估转基因作物的安全性并不比评估传统培育作物的安全性更有必要。
