Listen to this siteDetails of Agency-funded projects under the Safety Assessment Of Novel And GM Food research programme (G03).
This project addresses the need to have baseline metabolomic data for crops, to use as a reference in assessing new crop varieties (GM or non-GM). It also addresses how the quality of the raw data used for assessment purposes may affect the safety assessment.
This research project aims to assess the potential of multidimensional protein identification technology (MudPIT) as quantitative procedure to ascertain protein perturbations arising from genetic modifications.
This research assesses consumption patterns of products containing plant sterols and consumer awareness of labelling on consumption guidelines for these products.
Results available.
This research project will develop rapid and simple genetically modified organism (GMO) screening methods using multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) approaches and endpoint detection using lab-on-a-chip capillary electrophoresis.
This initial proof of concept study is designed to demonstrate the potential of Quantitation Using Informative Zeros (QUIZ) as a high-throughput methodology to measure Genetically Modified (GM) presence in food.
This project will involve the refinement and validation of a rapid polymerase chain reaction (PCR) based method for characterisation of junction sequences in a range of genetically modified (GM) crops.
This project seeks to develop robust methodologies to characterise the glycosylation of transgenic plant proteins for application in risk assessments.
