Abstract Ms8Rf3 is a genetically modified rapeseed hybrid which is widely cultivated in Canada and exported to some other countries for production of foodstuffs or fodder. In this study, the genomic sequences flanking the right borders of the integrated transgenic sequences in the Ms8Rf3 genome were characterized and showed high similarities with the bacterial artificial chromosome clone of Chinese cabbage. Event-specific qualitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) methods were established with the primers and probes targeting the junction regions to produce a 123 base pair (bp) product for the Ms8 event and 92 bp for the Rf3 event. The absolute detection limit of qualitative PCR was 2.5 initial template copies for the Ms8 event and 50 copies for the Rf3 event. Quantitiative detection methods were established, with the absolute quantification limit being approximately 25 initial template copies.

ABSTRACT MON 87419 was one of the new transgenic corn events developed in US with the trait of herbicide resistance to both dicamba and glyphosate. To monitor unintended release of genetically modified organism in the future, as well as to meet GM-labeling requirements, it is requisite to develop a reliable method for the detection and quantification of MON 87419, an event-specific primer pair was designed to amplify the 3′-junction site between the endogenous genome sequence and the transferred DNA of GM event MON 87419, amplicons of desired size were produced by qualitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay. For the validation of this quantitative method, the mixed samples containing 10%, 1%, and 0.1% MON 87419 ingredient were quantified. The precisions were expressed as relative standard deviations, deviated by 7.87%, 12.94%, and 19.98%, respectively. These results clearly demonstrate that the PCR methods we developed herein can be used for event-specific quantitative testing of the double-herbicide-resistant corn MON 87419.

Abstract 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), Bt11 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.

Two SMN (survival motor neuron) genes are presented in the human genome: SMN1,  which present the telomeric gene whose homozygous deletion or mutation like gene conversion, causes spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), and SMN2, the centromeric version whose copy number modulates the phenotype of SMA These genes are commonly detected by Polymerase Chain reaction-based methods, and these are MLPA (Multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification), qPCR (quantitative Polymerase chain reaction) and PCR-RFLP (Polymerase chain reaction-Restriction fragment length polymorphism). This paper reviews the current standing of the most common PCR methods used in the detection of spinal muscular atrophy genes. MLPA, qPCR, and PCR-RFLP currently represent the most common methods of choice for the detection of mutations, especially for deletion and duplication mutations.
