Genetic studies of marker genes for food safety control

Genetic studies of the food products quality of Russian and imported origin for the presence of genetically modified components are conducted. The features of the genetic modification of the analyzed food products (sausages, baby canned meat) have been established. A number of promoter, terminator and reporter genes, indicating the genetic modifications made, have been identified and recommended for use as marker genes for food safety control on the criterion of GMO content.
