CIRCLE WITH A DOT

@carnage4life That's good, but I'd rather get rid of it completely

@evan I voted yes because an additional check is always useful, whether it's by an AI or a human. LLMs can make mistakes and overloook errors, but so do humans.

@hpod16 Yes, there are lab methods based on PCR where you analyse DNA in a sample, and identify (or even quantify) GMOs

Actually, I maintain the GMOMETHODS database, which is a public collection of high-performance methods that labs can use to monitor food/feed entering or circulating in the EU

@hpod16 I work as a consultant for the EURL GMFF team in Ispra, Italy. Basically, we assess the performance of GMO detection methods, ensuring they have good sensitivity and specificity I am an IT consultant, I mostly do data analysis and web development

EURL GMFF

The European Union Reference Laboratory for Genetically Modified Food and Feed (EURL GMFF) performs the scientific assessment and validation of detection methods for GM Food and Feed as part of the EU authorisation procedure. It also assists National Reference Laboratories (NRL) for GMO control in the EU Member States. The EURL GMFF is supported by the ENGL, the European Network of GMO Laboratories, and hosted by the Joint Research Centre (JRC) of the European Commission.

@hpod16 Fantastic video! I am familiar with this topic because our team at JRC supports EU control labs in monitoring food, feed and seeds for the presence of GMOs

@hpod16 @EUCommission Great news! I hope/guess the next step will be closing the X account
