Project Description:
Reliable detection methods are essential for the labelling of GMO concerned food and for the control at the EU borders. This programme will collaborate with two previous EU programs (qpcrgmofood and entransfood) in order to develop a new biochips technology for already assayed GMO. It will also develop assays for new released GMO not (yet) approved by the EU. The miniaturisation and the multiparametric detection of the DNA microarray can be used in a "matrix approach" for both quantitative detection and typing of GMO. Amplifications by consensus PCR of parts of the plant and GMO used sequences are identified on the microarray by specific capture probe. A final ring-test will assess the reliability of the micro-array testing and compare this technologie with the real-time PCR one in terms of quantification and identification of GMO. Most of the laboratories are common to previous EU programmes making the comparison possible. The results will be proposed for CEN standardisation.
