20、he characterization of genetically modified organisms (GMOs). It is designed as a guideline for adaptation of experimental procedures to the requirements of the specific experimental design. The characterization of a GMO can include the analysis of: the genomic modification (see EN 12687); the funct

21、ional expression of the genomic modification (see EN 12682); the molecular stability of the genomic modification. This European Standard deals with the analysis of the molecular stability of the genomic modification of GMOs. In principle, this European Standard refers to the analysis of the molecula

22、r stability of GMOs during their prerelease evaluation and in monitoring of experimental releases. If specific questions concerning molecular stability occur during or after the release, especially if the release is scheduled for more than one generation, it is this standard that could apply (see An

23、nex A 3, 4). The analysis of the molecular stability can be based on: the physical analysis of the genetic modification of interest as it exists in the GMO (genomic modification) (see EN 12687); and/or the analysis of the functional expression of the genetic modification of interest (genomic modific

24、ation) (see EN 12682). 1 Scope This European Standard provides guidance for factors and criteria considered by the experimenter for the valid design, execution and evaluation of an analysis of the molecular stability of the genomic modification with respect to life cycle, heritability and external f

25、actors. It describes the steps in the characterization of a GMO that should be followed to ensure the validity of the analysis of the molecular stability of the genomic modification. The type of molecular stability analysis is dependent on the objectives of the experiment. 2 Normative references Thi

29、 For the purposes of this standard, the following definitions apply: 3.1 control preparation of known characteristics used to standardize an analysis 3.2 data signal output of a test system NOTE Data signals can be characterized: by binary decision: presence/absence (+/2); in relative terms by order

30、ing the data signal strength with respect to (a) defined control(s); quantitatively by giving their output strength in absolute terms; by position or movement; qualitatively by describing parameters not addressed by strength or position. 3.3 detection recognition of the presence of an organism or of

31、 a molecular structure within a sample 3.4 gene probe specific nucleic acid sequence used to identify certain DNA or RNA fragments by means of hybridization 3.5 genetic modification of interest conceptual design for altering the genetic material within an organism NOTE 1 The genetic modification of

32、interest can be described at different levels of molecular detail. NOTE 2 The conceptual design can include insertion, substitution or deletion of genetic material. 3.6 genetically modified organism organism in which the genetic material has been altered in a way that does not occur naturally by mat

33、ing and/or natural recombination NOTE Within the terms of this definition, genetic modification occurs at least through the use of the techniques listed in the Directive 90/220/EEC or its appropriate annexes (see annex A 2).Page 4 EN 12683:1998 BSI 1998 3.7 genomic modification actual physical struc

34、ture of the genetic modification of interest as it exists in the genetically modified organism 3.8 identification establishment of identity by comparison with a reference NOTE 1 The reference could be an organism, a molecular structure or the genetic modification of interest. NOTE 2 The certainty of

35、 identification is affected by the types and/or number of characteristics investigated. 3.9 molecular stability maintenance of the integrity of the desired structure and/or the desired function of the genomic modification with respect to time and/or generation 3.10 organism biological entity capable

36、 of replication or of transferring genetic material 3.11 reproducibility precision under reproducibility conditions ISO 3534-1 NOTE 1 Reproducibility conditions are conditions where test results are obtained with the same method on identical test items in different laboratories with different operat

37、ors using different equipment. NOTE 2 Results should be expressed as reproducibility standard deviation or reproducibility coefficient of variation. 4 Molecular stability testing 4.1 General considerations The relative molecular stability of traits introduced by genetic modification, over time and g

38、eneration, can be important in order to ensure the performance of the GMO under field conditions and/or for biosafety reasons. The design of an analysis for molecular stability should take into account the natural variations on the one hand and the experimental objective with respect to product perf

39、ormance and safety on the other. Molecular stability analysis can be performed at either the structural or genomic level or at the functional or phenotypic level depending on the objective of experiment. Testing for molecular stability between generations should be carried out over an appropriate nu

40、mber of generations. Molecular stability testing could be required at various points during the development and release of a GMO into the environment. This generally starts in contained systems, like the laboratory, microcosms, growth chambers, greenhouses, animal houses and can continue during the

41、release into the environment. 4.2 Types of molecular stability Molecular stability or instability of a genomic modification can be observed at any of the following levels: the structural or genomic level; the transcriptional or RNA-level; the level of functional expression; phenotype such as morphol

42、ogy, resistance, host specificity, colour. 4.3 Factors influencing the molecular stability Molecular stability of a genomic modification at the structural or genomic level can depend on factors which directly influence the genomic modification such as: mutation; recombination and/or transposition; g

43、ene transfer; copy number of accessory genetic elements like plasmids; methylation. These factors influence mainly the genomic modification, the type of integration into, and/or the localization within the genome. Molecular stability of the functional expression can depend on factors which indirectl

44、y influence the genomic modification such as: recipient organism; tissue and/or organ specificity; dependence upon metabolic activity; developmental stage (e.g. germination, senescence); external factors (e.g. wounding, UV- and visible light, temperature, habitat). Factors which influence the genomi

45、c modification can act either in cis or in trans. Examples for factors acting in cis are: integration site; chromatin structure; DNA structure; copy number; methylation. Examples for factors acting in trans are: life cycle; heritability; external factors. 4.4 Analysis of molecular stability 4.4.1 Ge

46、neral The molecular stability testing is the correlation of analytical data (structure and expression) from GMOs or their genetic material between samplings taken at different time points.Page 5 EN 12683:1998 BSI 1998 4.4.2 Methods at the structural or genomic level The following is a list of method

47、s appropriate to test the molecular stability at the structural or genomic level. Not all of these methods are necessarily applicable for the analysis of every genomic modification. The method of choice and its appropriateness or combination of methods depends on the stated objectives of the analysi

48、s. As molecular biology is a rapidly evolving field of research, the listed methods are considered neither prioritized, restrictive nor exhaustive. The methods should be properly assessed with regard to their information value: restriction pattern analysis; nucleic acid hybridization methods; nuclei

49、c acid amplification methods; sequencing methods; analysis of the chromatin and/or chromosome structure such as nucleosome footprinting and FISH (Fluorescent In Situ Hybridization). 4.4.3 Methods at the functional or phenotypic level The following methods can be appropriate to test the molecular stability at the functional or phenotypic level: biological tests (e.g. resistance and/or tolerance to pests or pesticides); test of
