Abstract. The potential hazards posed by RNA interference (RNAi)âbased pesticides and genetically modified crops to nontarget organisms include off-target gene silencing, silencing the target gene in unintended organisms, immune stimulation, and saturation of the RNAi machinery. new peer-reviewed paper in the journal Bioscience draws attention to potential hazards on nontarget species of pesticides and GMOs made with RNA-interference (RNAi) gene-silencing techniques.
Intangible assets include operational assets that lack physical substance, such as patents, copyrights, trademarks, franchises and goodwill. A companyâs intangible assets are often not reported on a company's financial statements or will be reported at significantly less than their actual value.
What is a 'Tangible Asset' A tangible asset is an asset that has a physical form. Tangible assets include both fixed assets, such as machinery, buildings and land, and current assets, such as inventory. The opposite of a tangible asset is an intangible asset. Nonphysical assets, such as patents, trademarks, copyrights, goodwill and brand recognition, are all examples of intangible assets.
