In the context of agriculture and food and feed production, coexistence means using cropping systems with and without geneticallymodified organisms GMOs in parallel. For coexistence to be assured, the separation and the identity of the respective food and feed products must be maintained at all stages of the production process.

The traceability of Geneticallymodified organism geneticallymodified organisms GMOs describes a system that ensures the forwarding of the identity of a GMO from its production to its final buyer. Traceability is an essential prerequisite for the Coexistence of geneticallymodified and conventionalcrops and derivedfood and feedcoexistence of GM and non GM foods, and for the freedom of choice for consumers. Why traceability is needed The traceability of GMOs is founded on two needs. First, consumers in many countries are reluctant to buy geneticallymodified foods, and are sceptical of the use of GM crops for animal feed. Consequently, the concept of coexistence has been developed to separate GM and non GM supply chains, and is only possible if all purchasers along the production chain know what they are buying. Secondly, although every GMO that is approved for commercialisation must have passed a safety assessment, it may be necessary to withdraw a certain GMO from the market for example ... on the labelling and traceability of geneticallymodified organisms Regulation EC No 1830 2003 ... of geneticallymodified organisms External links http bch.biodiv.org organisms default.shtml ... of 22 September 2003 concerning the traceability and labeling of geneticallymodified organisms and the traceability of food and feed products produced from geneticallymodified organisms http www.coextra.eu Co Extra EU research programme on coexistence and traceability of GMOs http www.gmo safety.eu database 997.safety research project environmental traceability geneticallymodified rape cultivars.html GMO Safety Environmental traceability of geneticallymodified rape cultivars Research ... pentland gumpert USDA Bets the Farm on Animal ID Program Category Food safety Category Geneticallymodified organisms in agriculture ar ... varieties derived from one transformation event will share the same unique identifier.

The detection of geneticallymodified organisms in food or feed is possible by biochemical means. It can either be qualitative, showing which geneticallymodified organism GMO is present, or quantitative, measuring in which amount a certain GMO is present. Being able to detect a GMO is an important part of food safety, as without detection methods the Traceability of geneticallymodified organisms traceability of GMOs would rely solely on documentation. Polymerase chain reaction PCR The polymerase chain reaction PCR is a biochemistry and molecular biology technique for isolating and exponentially amplifying a fragment of DNA , via enzymatic replication, without using a living organism. It enables the detection of specific strands of DNA by making millions of copies of a target genetic sequence. The target sequence is essentially photocopied at an exponential rate, and simple visualisation techniques can make the millions of copies easy to see. The method works by pairing the targeted genetic sequence with custom designed complementary bits of DNA called Primer molecular biology primers . In the presence of the target sequence, the primers match with it and trigger a chain reaction. DNA ... amounts of transgene DNA in a food or feed sample.

When different cropping systems are grown in proximity to each other, the isolation distance between fields refers to the area separating them, on which geneticallymodified pollen can settle without fertilising non GM crops. Goal of isolation distances The goal of isolation distances is to minimise out crossing of GM plants. If large amounts of GM pollen fertilise crops in a non GM field, that harvest may no longer be declared GM free , and will require appropriate labelling if its GM content exceeds a certain limit e.g. 0.9 percent in the European Union . Design of isolation distances Isolation distances are mostly empty spaces. They may be roads, uncultivated fields, or anything that separates two fields without actively hindering the drift of pollen. Separation methods between GM and non GM fields which actively catch pollen are called Pollen barrier pollen barriers or buffer zones . Factors influencing isolation distances Many factors influence the width required for isolation. A major criterion is the crop species, since isolation distances often must be calculated according to pollen weight. Other influential criteria include the size and shape of fields, GM contamination tolerance levels and, especially, local wind direction and weather conditions. Isolation distances for maize Maize is probably the best ... with small non GM fields 1 hectare , or with crops being grown primarily for seed production, the isolation ... crop species SIGMEA and Co Extra .

A geneticallymodified virus is a virus that has gone through genetic modification for various biomedical purposes. General usage Genetic modification involves the insertion or deletion of genes. When genes are inserted, they usually come from a different species, which is a form of horizontal gene transfer . In nature this can occur when exogenous DNA penetrates the cell membrane for any reason. To do this artificially may require attaching the genes to a virus or just physically inserting the extra DNA into the nucleus of the intended host with a very small syringe, or with very small particles fired from a gene gun . ref cite journal author Johnston SA, Tang DC title Gene gun transfection of animal cells and genetic immunization journal Methods in Cell Biology volume 43 Pt A issue pages 353 365 year 1994 pmid 7823871 oclc 31189762 ref However, other methods exploit natural forms of gene transfer, such as the ability of Agrobacterium to transfer genetic material to plants, ref cite journal author Lee LY, Gelvin SB title T DNA binary vectors and systems journal Plant Physiol. volume 146 issue 2 pages 325 332 year 2008 month February pmid 18250230 pmc 2245830 doi 10.1104 pp.107.113001 ... ref Lithium ion batteries In materials science, a geneticallymodified virus has been used to construct ... ref uses geneticallymodified viruses to deliver genes that can cure disease into human cells.
