20、lates to the 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);

21、 the functional expression of the genomic modification; the molecular stability of the genomic modification (see EN 12683). This European Standard deals with the analysis of the functional expression of the genomic modification of GMOs. In principle, this type of analysis can be used to correlate th

22、e functionality to the genomic modification. With respect to an intended application, it is the predicted modification of the phenotype according to the intended design which should be analysed. This European Standard deals with types of analysis performed during pre-release evaluations of GMOs. Mos

23、t types of testing performed in the laboratory are also suited for a monitoring of the GMO and its novel traits in field samples. 1 Scope This European Standard provides guidance on the design and execution of experiments for the analysis of the functional expression of the genomic modification. It

24、gives criteria for the set-up of an experimental design and the determination of the validity of its execution. The main factors influencing the specificity, reliability and limits of detection for an analysis are given for the following categories of experiments: analysis of the expression of a gen

25、omic modification within GMOs (or clones of) or any specified part of them, including its response to internal (developmental stage, growth, organ or tissue location) and external factors (temperature, humidity, pH, other); establishment of identity of a desired product resulting from the expression

26、 of a genomic modification in comparison with a reference; characterization of the novel trait(s) of a GMO. This European Standard does not cover procedures for the analysis of pleiotropic effects of a genomic modification or the act of generating the GMO (e.g. somaclonal variation) on the phenotype

27、 of modified organisms, which cannot be predicted from the knowledge of the type of the genomic modification. However, the principles stated in this European Standard are applicable for the execution of any analysis of gene functions. 2 Normative references This European Standard incorporates by dat

31、rd, the following definitions apply: 3.1 analyte substance sought or determined 3.2 background noise output of a test system formed by controls lacking the data signal-giving component(s) under investigation 3.3 control preparation of known characteristics used to standardize an analysis 3.4 data si

32、gnal output of a test system NOTE Data 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; q

33、ualitatively by describing parameters not addressed by strength or position. 3.5 detection recognition of the presence of an organism or of a molecular structure within a sample 3.6 genetic modification of interest conceptual design for altering the genetic material within an organism NOTE 1 The gen

34、etic 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.Page 4 EN 12682:1998 BSI 1998 3.7 genetically modified organism organism in which the genetic material has been alt

35、ered 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 the Directive 90/220/EEC or its appropriate annexes (see annex A 2). 3.8 genomic modification

36、actual physical structure of the genetic modification of interest as it exists in the genetically modified organism 3.9 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. NO

37、TE 2 The certainty of identification is affected by the types and/or number of characteristics investigated. 3.10 monitoring regular or continuous observation or collection of data with respect to an organism, process or procedure NOTE In this standard, monitoring applies to the progress of a releas

38、ed genetically modified organism. 3.11 organism biological entity capable of replication or of transferring genetic material 3.12 phenotype sum 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

39、 a virus, the phenotype can be described by one or more traits manifested in the infected host. 3.13 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

40、different laboratories with different operators using different equipment. NOTE 2 Results should be expressed as reproducibility standard deviation or reproducibility coefficient of variation. 3.14 trait observable and/or measurable characteristic 4 Testing for functional expression 4.1 General cons

41、iderations The expression of traits introduced by genetic modification, over time and generation, 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 functional expression should take into account the natur

42、al variations on the one hand and the experimental objective with respect to product performance and safety on the other. Data signal processing from biochemical and molecular analysis or observation of phenotypic traits is used to determine the expression caused by a genomic modification including

43、its regulation, to establish the identity of products, and to differentiate the phenotype of a GMO from that of the unmodified recipient or parent organism. 4.2 Data signal processing by methods of biochemistry, immunology and molecular biology The synthesis of gene products can be assayed by a vari

44、ety of methods (see annex A 5, 6), including: testing for sequence-dependent data signal generation of primary gene products (RNA); determination of the relative molecular mass and other physical and/or chemical characteristics of gene products; testing for the presence of specific antigenic determi

45、nants. 4.3 Phenotype testing Depending on the objective of the analysis, the characterization of a particular phenotype can efficiently substitute for a molecular analysis of the GMO such as: enzymatic activities, synthesis of metabolites; resistance or tolerance for chemicals, organisms; a new colo

47、of the experimental procedures for the analysis of the expression of the genomic modification are: a) precise statement of the objective for the intended analysis (see 6.2); b) experimental design according to various criteria (see 6.2); c) execution of the analysis according to the experimental pro

48、tocol (see 6.3); d) appropriate record keeping (see 6.4); e) evaluation of the validity of the results (see clause 7); f) documentation of the results (see clause 8). 6.2 Experimental design The considerations for experimental procedures to analyse the functional expression of the genetic modificati

49、on of interest should start with the definition and statement of the objective for this analysis, followed by the design of the experiment, which should be written down in a protocol, but keeping the flexibility needed to handle unexpected observations. The reason for choosing a particular method or methods should be stated in the experimental design. Gene expression is usually affected by external and internal factors influencing the organism.
