We are happy to share that we have published a new paper in collaboration with the Joint Research Center of the European Commission! This work introduces a duplex NGS sequencing workflow that detects multiple genome‑editing events in plant DNA down to 0.1% variant frequency.
Crucially, the method shows that NGS can meet GMO traceability performance standards traditionally achieved with event‑specific PCR, while remaining assay-agnostic to the individual mutation—a key requirement when edits are numerous, small, or unknown a priori.
This work provides a proof of concept to fill the gap between regulatory traceability needs and the technical flexibility required to monitor modern genome editing.
