متن کاملA quantitative competitor PCR assay to detect genetically modified roundup-ready soybeans in commercially sold foods in Iran
Due to ever-increasing global diffusion and related socio-economic implications, the detectionof genetically modified organisms (GMOs) is very important. In this study, we design a plasmidcontaining two genes in mutated form as construct-specific (cp4 epsps) and event-specific(pd35S). It is applied for quantitative-competitor (QC) PCR as a simple and reliable method forthe detection of GM food....
