|  The
FAO-RAP project on “Capacity Building in Biosafety of
GM Crops in Asia” GCP/RAS/185/JPN is sponsoring a Regional
Training Workshop on GMO Detection/Testing from 27-31 October,
2003. This training is to be conducted by the DNA Technology
Laboratory of the National Engineering and Biotechnology Center
(BIOTEC) located at the Kamphaeng Saen Campus of Kasetsart
University.
The training is one of the important activities of the project
enabling it to attain its main objective of strengthening
the capacities of the project participating countries for
developing human resources, research and technology for biosafety
including the assessment and management of potential risks
associated with GM Crops.
 Participants
to the training program are researchers from the participating
countries (Bangladesh, China, India, Indonesia, Malaysia,
Pakistan, Philippines, Sri Lanka, Thailand and Vietnam) involved
in the national biotechnology/biosafety program.
The training program includes: isolation and quantification
of DNA sample for GMO testing, PCR reaction fro Zein and Lecithin,
Detection by gel base and Real-time PCR base, DNA isolation
of unknown sample, PCR reaction of CaMV 35S and NOS and RR
gene, analysis and interpretation of results.
