How to Reliably Test for GMOs
The detection of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) is becoming very complex, with new GMOs, approved and unapproved, constantly entering world markets. Traceability and labelling of GMOs is defined in regulations worldwide, demanding accurate and reli

Preface
Testing of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) presents significant challenges to the laboratories assigned to this specific task. It requires, among other skills, a profound understanding of molecular biology, the capacity to set up and to use accurate procedures and methods of analyses, including quality management systems, and a permanent adaptation to and knowledge of new GMOs entering the global market. This book reflects the practical experience and knowledge gained over many years of various activities at the National Institute of Biology (NIB), Slovenia, which is a research organization and National Reference Laboratory (NRL) as well as a laboratory performing routine analyses of food, feed, and seeds. It operates in tight collaboration with the European Network of GMO Laboratories (ENGL) and the Institute for Health and Consumer Protection (IHCP) of the European Commission (EC) Joint Research Centre (JRC). This book is written in cooperation with the IHCP which has extensive knowledge and experienc
