It is designed as a guideline for the adaptation of experimen

20、tal procedures to the requirements of the specific experimental design. The characterization of a GMO can include the analysis of: the genomic modification; the functional expression of the genomic modification (see EN 12682); the molecular stability of the genomic modification (see EN 12683). This

21、European Standard relates to the specific characterization of the genomic modification of GMOs. This characterization is implicit for use during environmental releases and should be applied, if required, during assessment of product quality. 1 Scope This European Standard gives guidance on the steps

22、 that should be followed during the analysis of the genetic modification of interest: to analyse and describe the genetic modification of interest as it exists in the GMO (genomic modification); to detect and/or identify the GMO accurately. This European Standard gives guidance on the factors and cr

23、iteria considered by the experimenter for the selection of the appropriate method(s) and the validity of experimental results for the analysis of the genetic modification of interest. The procedures described in this European Standard are applicable to testing the genomic modification. They include

24、techniques of biochemistry, immunology or molecular biology. 2 Normative references This European Standard incorporates by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications. These normative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text and the publications are listed hereaf

28、ata signals can be characterized: by binary decision: presence/absence (+/2); in relative terms by ordering 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 paramete

29、rs not addressed by strength or position. 3.3 detection recognition of the presence of an organism or of 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 co

30、nceptual design for altering the genetic material within an organism NOTE 1 The genetic modification of 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 organi

31、sm organism in which the genetic material has been altered in a way that does not occur naturally by mating and/or natural recombination NOTE Within the terms of this definition genetic modification occurs at least through the use of the techniques listed in Directive 90/220/EEC or its appropriate a

32、nnexes (see annex A 2). 3.7 genomic modification actual physical structure 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 stru

33、cture or the genetic modification of interest. NOTE 2 The certainty of identification can be affected by the types and/or number of characteristics investigated.Page 4 EN 12687:1998 BSI 1998 3.9 organism biological entity capable of replication or of transferring genetic material 3.10 phenotype sum

34、of the traits of an organism NOTE 1 The phenotype can be described with respect to one or more traits under a given set of conditions. NOTE 2 In the case of a virus, the phenotype can be described by one or more traits manifested in the infected host. 3.11 sample materials collected for analysis 3.1

35、2 trait observable and/or measurable characteristic 4 Testing for genomic modification 4.1 General considerations A genetic modification in general is intended to modify the expression of genetic traits of an organism or to produce a new gene product in a GMO, in order to modify the phenotype of tha

36、t organism. The presence of the genetic modification of interest as it exists in the GMO can be deduced from the presence or absence of an insert of specific DNA or gene product(s) such as RNA or protein, of a specific biochemical reaction, or of a specific phenotypic trait (see EN 12682). Only the

37、analysis at the level of genetic material provides information about the structure of the genetic modification of interest within the GMO. The methods described in this European Standard relate to the detection and identification of a particular GMO by determination of the presence of nucleic acid m

38、olecules which specifically characterizes the GMO. Usually the genetic modification of interest is a DNA sequence. However, in some special cases, the genetic modification of interest can be a RNA sequence (e.g. RNA-viruses). Not all of the methods described in this European Standard are necessarily

39、 applicable for every analysis of the genetic modification of interest as it exists in the GMO. This standard provides the criteria by which a suitable method or combination of methods is found for the analysis of the genomic modification, depending on the purpose of the analysis. The methods descri

40、bed in this standard can be appropriate to test GMOs provided that the genetic modification of interest is available either as cloned DNA, or as complete or partial nucleotide sequence data or other relevant data. They refer to techniques that are based on: a) restriction pattern analysis (see 4.2);

41、 b) DNA- or RNA-hybridization (see 4.3); c) DNA- or RNA-fragment amplification (see 4.4); d) DNA- or RNA-sequencing of the genomic modification (see 4.5). Examples of the application of such methods can be used to: qualitatively establish the presence of the genomic modification; estimate the copy n

42、umber; estimate the number of integration sites and their relative position in the genome of an organism; compare the genetic modification of interest with the actual genomic modification. 4.2 Restriction enzyme method Restriction pattern analysis provides the means to construct a primary physical m

43、ap of a DNA-segment. 4.3 Hybridization method Hybridization (molecular hybridization) is the sequence-dependent pairing of complementary single-stranded nucleic acid molecules resulting in a double-stranded hybrid. The detection of a genomic modification within an organism is visualized by hybridiza

44、tion with a labelled gene probe. 4.4 in-vitro DNA- or RNA-fragment amplification method The DNA- or RNA-fragment amplification method is used to obtain multiple copies (amplification) of a segment of DNA (template DNA) or RNA (template RNA) that is located between regions of known nucleotide sequenc

45、e, which are complementary with synthetic primers. 4.5 Sequencing method The methods for determination of nucleotide sequences can be used for: confirmation of sequence identity; confirmation of the sequence at the integration site; characterization of the sequence flanking the genomic modification.

46、 The determination of the sequence of the genomic modification should not be considered as a necessity. 5 Materials 5.1 Nucleic acid materials The test should be carried out on a nucleic acid target from the samples and the controls. Depending on the procedure and the experimental technique used, th

47、e requirement for quantity and purity of the extracted nucleic acids can be different. Special extraction procedures can be required for different organisms (Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, yeasts, fungi, plant and animal cells). The extraction protocol should provide nucleic acid specimen

48、s of sufficient purity to ensure the reproducibility of the results. Important considerations for yield and purity of nucleic acids are the method of cellular lysis, the removal of cell debris, nucleases and hybridization inhibitors, and the gentle handling of samples to minimize mechanical shearing

49、 of long DNA molecules. The nucleic acid isolated from test samples and controls should ideally be prepared using the same procedure.Page 5 EN 12687:1998 BSI 1998 5.2 Gene probe There are different approaches for the preparation of the gene probe. For the purposes of this European Standard, it is appropriate that gene probes exist of nucleic acid fragments of known identity, for example a plasmid or a gene fragment used to define the genetic modification of interest or chemically
