Extracting DNA from highly processed samples
OBJECTIVES:
Quantifying GM content in highly processed ingredients such as refined oils and lecithin is not yet possible. This is because processing steps involve such extreme temperatures and pressures that almost all DNA is destroyed. This task seeks to develop DNA extraction methods that are efficient enough to yield sufficient DNA for quantitative GMO testing.
APPROACH:
Details on the approach of this project have not been specified.
SHORT RESULTS:
The team has reached only preliminary, unpublished results at this stage of the project.
