Abstract
Concerns have been raised globally as to whether these GM products are safe for human beings, animals and to the environment. These concerns have led to demands to regulate and perhaps label seed, feed and food products to inform the consumer whether the products being imported or marketed are made of GM seed or plants. The GMOs can be detected by identifying DNA or RNA or protein. This article deals with the methods of detecting GMOs in DNA as well as in proteins.
