Molecular biomarkers — Detection of DNA in textiles derived from cotton — Part 2: Overview of target sequences for use in polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based detection methods for cotton genetically modified (GM) events

Scope

This document provides a list of target sequences that can be used to screen for the presence of genetically
modified material in Cotton and Cotton products. Its use is limited to cottonseed, leaf, cotton fibre and cotton
fibre-derived materials from which sufficiently high-quality DNA can be extracted.
NOTE 1: This list of target sequences provides guidance for the screening of all currently known GM cotton
events and GM cotton events that contain the same DNA sequences. Further guidance on screening of
foodstuffs is provided in CEN /TS 16 707
NOTE 2: Sampling is outside of the scope of this document. Information on sampling cotton products may be
found in ISO 1130: 1975 and in ASTM Dl441-12.
