Genetically Modified Food: Yes or No?

Detection of genetically modified maize in processed foods sold commercially in Iran by qualitative PCR

Detection of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in food is an important issue for all the subjects involved in food control and customer’s right. Due to the increasing number of GMOs imported to Iran during the past few years, it has become necessary to screen the products in order to determine the identity of the consumed daily foodstuffs. In this study, following extraction of genomic DNA ...
