When random changes to their DNA, called mutations ... In 1983, the first genetically modified organisms, or GMOs, appeared ...

Because GMO foods contain DNA from other organisms, it's possible that the new DNA can trigger allergies in people who wouldn't normally be allergic to the food. In one instance, a GMO soybean ...

variability in the proportions of GMO to non-GMO DNA in replicate “homogenized” laboratory samples. We believe this has serious implications for the practicability of GMO detection in foods.

Where qualitative PCR analysis is performed, systems designed to boost sensitivity and specificity can enable detection of GMOs in highly degraded DNA samples. But what about quantitative analysis?

There are two ways to fit the definition of GMO. One, the organism's DNA was altered with techniques that can happen in a ...

Until now, gene editing, involving the precise replacement of one DNA sequence with another ... that organisms obtained by mutagenesis are GMOs [genetically modified organisms] within the meaning ...
