In recent years, digital polymerase chain reaction (dPCR), a new molecular biology technique, has been gaining in popularity. Among many other applications, this technique can also be used for the detection and quantification of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in food and feed. It might replace the currently widely used real-time PCR method (qPCR), by overcoming problems related to the PCR inhibition and the requirement of certified reference materials to be used as a calibrant. In theory, validated qPCR methods can be easily transferred to the dPCR platform. However, optimization of the PCR conditions might be necessary. In this study, we report the transfer of two validated qPCR methods for quantification of maize DAS1507 and NK603 events to the droplet dPCR (ddPCR) platform. After some optimization, both methods have been verified according to the guidance of the European Network of GMO Laboratories (ENGL) on analytical method verification (ENGL working group on “Method Verification.” (2011) Verification of Analytical Methods for GMO Testing When Implementing Interlaboratory Validated Methods). Digital PCR methods performed equally or better than the qPCR methods. Optimized ddPCR methods confirm their suitability for GMO determination in food and feed. 相似文献

The steady rate of development and diffusion of genetically modified plants and their increasing diversification of characteristics,
genes and genetic control elements poses a challenge in analysis of genetically modified organisms (GMOs). It is expected
that in the near future the picture will be even more complex. Traditional approaches, mostly based on the sequential detection
of one target at a time, or on a limited multiplexing, allowing only a few targets to be analysed at once, no longer meet
the testing requirements. Along with new analytical technologies, new approaches for the detection of GMOs authorized for
commercial purposes in various countries have been developed that rely on (1) a smart and accurate strategy for target selection,
(2) the use of high-throughput systems or platforms for the detection of multiple targets and (3) algorithms that allow the
conversion of analytical results into an indication of the presence of individual GMOs potentially present in an unknown sample.
This paper reviews the latest progress made in GMO analysis, taking examples from the most recently developed strategies and
tools, and addresses some of the critical aspects related to these approaches. 相似文献

Advances in molecular techniques for the detection and quantification of genetically modified organisms 总被引:3,自引:1,他引:2

Progress in genetic engineering has led to the introduction of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) whose genomes have been
altered by the integration of a novel sequence conferring a new trait. To allow consumers an informed choice, many countries
require food products to be labeled if the GMO content exceeds a certain threshold. Consequently, the development of analytical
methods for GMO screening and quantification is of great interest. Exponential amplification by the polymerase chain reaction
(PCR) remains a central step in molecular methods of GMO detection and quantification. In order to meet the challenge posed
by the continuously increasing number of GMOs, various multiplex assays have been developed for the simultaneous amplification
and/or detection of several GMOs. Classical agarose gel electrophoresis is being replaced by capillary electrophoresis (CE)
systems, including CE chips, for the rapid and automatable separation of amplified fragments. Microtiter well-based hybridization
assays allow high-throughput analysis of many samples in a single plate. Microarrays have been introduced in GMO screening
as a technique for the simultaneous multianalyte detection of amplified sequences. Various types of biosensors, including
surface plasmon resonance sensors, quartz crystal microbalance piezoelectric sensors, thin-film optical sensors, dry-reagent
dipstick-type sensors and electrochemical sensors were introduced in GMO screening because they offer simplicity and lower
cost. GMO quantification is performed by real-time PCR (rt-QPCR) and competitive PCR. New endogenous reference genes have
been validated. rt-QPCR is the most widely used approach. Multiplexing is another trend in this field. Strategies for high-throughput
multiplex competitive quantitative PCR have been reported. 相似文献

Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) entered the European food market in 1996. Current legislation demands the labeling of food products if they contain <1% GMO, as assessed for each ingredient of the product. To create confidence in the testing methods and to complement enforcement requirements, there is an urgent need for internationally validated methods, which could serve as reference methods. To date, several methods have been submitted to validation trials at an international level; approaches now exist that can be used in different circumstances and for different food matrixes. Moreover, the requirement for the formal validation of methods is clearly accepted; several national and international bodies are active in organizing studies. Further validation studies, especially on the quantitative polymerase chain reaction methods, need to be performed to cover the rising demand for new extraction methods and other background matrixes, as well as for novel GMO constructs. 相似文献

Quantitative characterization of nucleic acids is becoming a frequently used method in routine analysis of biological samples, one use being the detection of genetically modified organisms (GMOs). Measurement uncertainty is an important factor to be considered in these analyses, especially where precise thresholds are set in regulations. Intermediate precision, defined as a measure between repeatability and reproducibility, is a parameter describing the real situation in laboratories dealing with quantitative aspects of molecular biology methods. In this paper, we describe the top-down approach to calculating measurement uncertainty, using intermediate precision, in routine GMO testing of food and feed samples. We illustrate its practicability in defining compliance of results with regulations. The method described is also applicable to other molecular methods for a variety of laboratory diagnostics where quantitative characterization of nucleic acids is needed. 相似文献

New trends in bioanalytical tools for the detection of genetically modified organisms: an update 总被引:3,自引:1,他引:2

Despite the controversies surrounding genetically modified organisms (GMOs), the production of GM crops is increasing, especially
in developing countries. Thanks to new technologies involving genetic engineering and unprecedented access to genomic resources,
the next decade will certainly see exponential growth in GMO production. Indeed, EU regulations based on the precautionary
principle require any food containing more than 0.9% GM content to be labeled as such. The implementation of these regulations
necessitates sampling protocols, the availability of certified reference materials and analytical methodologies that allow
the accurate determination of the content of GMOs. In order to qualify for the validation process, a method should fulfil
some criteria, defined as “acceptance criteria” by the European Network of GMO Laboratories (ENGL). Several methods have recently
been developed for GMO detection and quantitation, mostly based on polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technology. PCR (including
its different formats, e.g., double competitive PCR and real-time PCR) remains the technique of choice, thanks to its ability
to detect even small amounts of transgenes in raw materials and processed foods. Other approaches relying on DNA detection
are based on quartz crystal microbalance piezoelectric biosensors, dry reagent dipstick-type sensors and surface plasmon resonance
sensors. The application of visible/near-infrared (vis/NIR) spectroscopy or mass spectrometry combined with chemometrics techniques
has also been envisaged as a powerful GMO detection tool. Furthermore, in order to cope with the multiplicity of GMOs released
onto the market, the new challenge is the development of routine detection systems for the simultaneous detection of numerous
GMOs, including unknown GMOs. 相似文献

DNA methods: critical review of innovative approaches 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
The presence of ingredients derived from genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in food products in the market place is subject to a number of European regulations that stipulate which product consisting of or containing GMO-derived ingredients should be labeled as such. In order to maintain these labeling requirements, a variety of different GMO detection methods have been developed to screen for either the presence of DNA or protein derived from (approved) GM varieties. Recent incidents where unapproved GM varieties entered the European market show that more powerful GMO detection and identification methods will be needed to maintain European labeling requirements in an adequate, efficient, and cost-effective way. This report discusses the current state-of-the-art as well as future developments in GMO detection. 相似文献

The measurement of protein-DNA interactions is difficult and often involves radioisotope-labelled DNA to obtain the desired assay sensitivity. More recently, high-throughput proteomic approaches were developed but they generally lack sensitivity. For these methods, the level of technical difficulties involved is high due to the need for specialised facilities or equipment and training. The new qPCR-based DNA-binding assay involves immunoprecipitation of a GFP-tagged DNA-binding protein in complex with various DNA targets (Ter sites) followed by qPCR quantification, affording a very sensitive and quantitative method that can be performed in polyplex. Using a single binding reaction, the binding specificity of the DNA replication terminator protein Tus for ten termination sites TerA-J could be obtained for the first time in just a few hours. This new qPCR DNA-binding assay can easily be adapted to determine the binding specificity of virtually any soluble and functional epitope-tagged DNA-binding protein. 相似文献

Absolute quantification of genetically modified MON810 maize (Zea mays L.) by digital polymerase chain reaction 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

Quantitative analysis of genetically modified (GM) foods requires estimation of the amount of the transgenic event relative
to an endogenous gene. Regulatory authorities in the European Union (EU) have defined the labelling threshold for GM food
on the copy number ratio between the transgenic event and an endogenous gene. Real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is
currently being used for quantification of GM organisms (GMOs). Limitations in real-time PCR applications to detect very low
number of DNA targets has led to new developments such as the digital PCR (dPCR) which allows accurate measurement of DNA
copies without the need for a reference calibrator. In this paper, the amount of maize MON810 and hmg copies present in a DNA extract from seed powders certified for their mass content and for their copy number ratio was measured
by dPCR. The ratio of these absolute copy numbers determined by dPCR was found to be identical to the ratios measured by real-time
quantitative PCR (qPCR) using a plasmid DNA calibrator. These results indicate that both methods could be applied to determine
the copy number ratio in MON810. The reported values were in agreement with estimations from a model elaborated to convert
mass fractions into copy number fractions in MON810 varieties. This model was challenged on two MON810 varieties used for
the production of MON810 certified reference materials (CRMs) which differ in the parental origin of the introduced GM trait.
We conclude that dPCR has a high metrological quality and can be used for certifying GM CRMs in terms of DNA copy number ratio. 相似文献

Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction methods for four genetically modified maize varieties and maize DNA content in food 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9
Quantitative detection methods are needed for enforcement of the recently introduced labeling threshold for genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in food ingredients. This labeling threshold, which is set to 1% in the European Union and Switzerland, must be applied to all approved GMOs. Four different varieties of maize are approved in the European Union: the insect-resistant Bt176 maize (Maximizer), Btl 1 maize, Mon810 (YieldGard) maize, and the herbicide-tolerant T25 (Liberty Link) maize. Because the labeling must be considered individually for each ingredient, a quantitation system for the endogenous maize content is needed in addition to the GMO-specific detection systems. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction detection methods were developed for the 4 approved genetically modified maize varieties and for an endogenous maize (invertase) gene system. 相似文献

Accreditation of GMO detection laboratories: Improving the reliability of GMO detection 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4

Reliable and efficient methods for detecting genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are essential for establishing an effective system for traceability all along the supply chain from seed producers to final consumers. The latter is especially meaningful in European Union and other countries where strict legislations on GMOs were set up. Performance of the methods used in laboratories around the world should be uniform, in order to obtain reliable and comparable results. Accreditation is a suitable system for harmonising procedures in each testing laboratory. In this paper, key elements for the accreditation of molecular biology methods for GMO detection according to ISO/IEC 17025 are described. The procedures described are also valuable for the accreditation of molecular methods for all laboratory diagnostics where qualitative and quantitative characterisation of nucleic acids is needed. 相似文献

The real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) is probably the most common molecular technique in use today, having become the method of choice for nucleic acid detection and quantification and underpinning applications ranging from basic research through biotechnology and forensic applications to clinical diagnostics. This key technology relies on fluorescence to detect and quantify nucleic acid amplification products, and its homogeneous assay format has transformed legacy polymerase chain reaction (PCR) from a low-throughput qualitative gel-based technique to a frequently automated, rapid, high-throughput quantitative technology. However, the enormous range of protocols together with frequently inappropriate pre-assay conditions, poor assay design and unsuitable data analysis methodologies are impeding its status as a mature, ??gold standard?? technology. This, combined with inconsistent and insufficient reporting procedures, has resulted in the widespread publication of data that can be misleading, in particular when this technology is used to quantify cellular mRNA or miRNA levels by RT-qPCR. This affects the integrity of the scientific literature, with consequences for not only basic research, but with potentially major implications for the potential development of molecular diagnostic and prognostic monitoring tools. These issues have been addressed by a set of guidelines that propose a minimum standard for the provision of information for qPCR experiments (??MIQE??). MIQE aims to systematise current variable qPCR methods into a more consistent format that will encourage detailed auditing of experimental detail, data analysis and reporting principles. General implementation of these guidelines is an important requisite for the maturing of qPCR into a robust, accurate and reliable nucleic acid quantification technology. 相似文献

Recently, more and more effort has been put into the miniaturization of genetic tests such as quantitative PCR (qPCR), because it is no doubt a powerful tool for molecular diagnosis and quantitative biology. In this paper, we developed a low density nanolitre droplet array generated on a chemical modified silicon chip for gene quantification. Reliable and sensitive two step real time qRT-PCR assay for microRNA measurement was performed within 500 nL droplets. It has a dynamic range of six orders of magnitude, allowing for the quantification of microRNA input from 10(3) to 10(9) copies per reaction. We successfully applied the platform for quantitative measurement of mir-122 across five cultured cell lines. The minimum total RNA input was as low as 1 pg per assay, which showed great potential for gene quantification at single cell level. We envision the droplet based qPCR chip would be a universal and low-cost platform for gene quantification in ordinary biological laboratories. 相似文献

Competent laboratories monitor genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and products derived thereof in the food and feed chain
in the framework of labeling and traceability legislation. In addition, screening is performed to detect the unauthorized
presence of GMOs including asynchronously authorized GMOs or GMOs that are not officially registered for commercialization
(unknown GMOs). Currently, unauthorized or unknown events are detected by screening blind samples for commonly used transgenic
elements, such as p35S or t-nos. If (1) positive detection of such screening elements shows the presence of transgenic material and (2) all known GMOs are
tested by event-specific methods but are not detected, then the presence of an unknown GMO is inferred. However, such evidence
is indirect because it is based on negative observations and inconclusive because the procedure does not identify the causative
event per se. In addition, detection of unknown events is hampered in products that also contain known authorized events.
Here, we outline alternative approaches for analytical detection and GMO identification and develop new methods to complement
the existing routine screening procedure. We developed a fluorescent anchor-polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method for the
identification of the sequences flanking the p35S and t-nos screening elements. Thus, anchor-PCR fingerprinting allows the detection of unique discriminative signals per event. In addition,
we established a collection of in silico calculated fingerprints of known events to support interpretation of experimentally
generated anchor-PCR GM fingerprints of blind samples. Here, we first describe the molecular characterization of a novel GMO,
which expresses recombinant human intrinsic factor in Arabidopsis thaliana. Next, we purposefully treated the novel GMO as a blind sample to simulate how the new methods lead to the molecular identification
of a novel unknown event without prior knowledge of its transgene sequence. The results demonstrate that the new methods complement
routine screening procedures by providing direct conclusive evidence and may also be useful to resolve masking of unknown
events by known events. 相似文献

Detection methods for genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are necessary for many applications, from seed purity assessment to compliance of food labeling in several countries. Numerous analytical methods are currently used or under development to support these needs. The currently used methods are bioassays and protein- and DNA-based detection protocols. To avoid discrepancy of results between such largely different methods and, for instance, the potential resulting legal actions, compatibility of the methods is urgently needed. Performance criteria of methods allow evaluation against a common standard. The more-common performance criteria for detection methods are precision, accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity, which together specifically address other terms used to describe the performance of a method, such as applicability, selectivity, calibration, trueness, precision, recovery, operating range, limit of quantitation, limit of detection, and ruggedness. Performance criteria should provide objective tools to accept or reject specific methods, to validate them, to ensure compatibility between validated methods, and be used on a routine basis to reject data outside an acceptable range of variability. When selecting a method of detection, it is also important to consider its applicability, its field of applications, and its limitations, by including factors such as its ability to detect the target analyte in a given matrix, the duration of the analyses, its cost effectiveness, and the necessary sample sizes for testing. Thus, the current GMO detection methods should be evaluated against a common set of performance criteria. 相似文献

See what you eat—broad GMO screening with microarrays 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Despite the controversy of whether genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are beneficial or harmful for humans, animals, and/or ecosystems, the number of cultivated GMOs is increasing every year. Many countries and federations have implemented safety and surveillance systems for GMOs. Potent testing technologies need to be developed and implemented to monitor the increasing number of GMOs. First, these GMO tests need to be comprehensive, i.e., should detect all, or at least the most important, GMOs on the market. This type of GMO screening requires a high degree of parallel tests or multiplexing. To date, DNA microarrays have the highest number of multiplexing capabilities when nucleic acids are analyzed. This trend article focuses on the evolution of DNA microarrays for GMO testing. Over the last 7 years, combinations of multiplex PCR detection and microarray detection have been developed to qualitatively assess the presence of GMOs. One example is the commercially available DualChip® GMO (Eppendorf, Germany; http://www.eppendorf-biochip.com), which is the only GMO screening system successfully validated in a multicenter study. With use of innovative amplification techniques, promising steps have recently been taken to make GMO detection with microarrays quantitative. Figure

Considering the increase of the total cultivated land area dedicated to genetically modified organisms (GMO), the consumers’ perception toward GMO and the need to comply with various local GMO legislations, efficient and accurate analytical methods are needed for their detection and identification. Considered as the gold standard for GMO analysis, the real-time polymerase chain reaction (RTi-PCR) technology was optimised to produce a high-throughput GMO screening method. Based on simultaneous 24 multiplex RTi-PCR running on a ready-to-use 384-well plate, this new procedure allows the detection and identification of 47 targets on seven samples in duplicate. To comply with GMO analytical quality requirements, a negative and a positive control were analysed in parallel. In addition, an internal positive control was also included in each reaction well for the detection of potential PCR inhibition. Tested on non-GM materials, on different GM events and on proficiency test samples, the method offered high specificity and sensitivity with an absolute limit of detection between 1 and 16 copies depending on the target. Easy to use, fast and cost efficient, this multiplex approach fits the purpose of GMO testing laboratories. Figure

The growing number of biotech crops with novel genetic elements increasingly complicates the detection of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in food and feed samples using conventional screening methods. Unauthorized GMOs (UGMOs) in food and feed are currently identified through combining GMO element screening with sequencing the DNA flanking these elements. In this study, a specific and sensitive qPCR assay was developed for vip3A element detection based on the vip3Aa20 coding sequences of the recently marketed MIR162 maize and COT102 cotton. Furthermore, SiteFinding-PCR in combination with Sanger, Illumina or Pacific BioSciences (PacBio) sequencing was performed targeting the flanking DNA of the vip3Aa20 element in MIR162. De novo assembly and Basic Local Alignment Search Tool searches were used to mimic UGMO identification. PacBio data resulted in relatively long contigs in the upstream (1,326 nucleotides (nt); 95 % identity) and downstream (1,135 nt; 92 % identity) regions, whereas Illumina data resulted in two smaller contigs of 858 and 1,038 nt with higher sequence identity (>99 % identity). Both approaches outperformed Sanger sequencing, underlining the potential for next-generation sequencing in UGMO identification. Figure
