The specificity test results
obtained from gel electrophoresis and visual observation were
consistent in all three replicates. Moreover, the pattern of these
results is in line with the theoretical data observed in the silico
study using ‘‘BlastN’’ for the presence or absence of tested elements
in individual GMOs. The data confirmed that the developed
PCR assays show high specificity for amplifying the target DNAs.
No amplification was shown for all non S. salar samples used for
this test as shown in Fig. 2C.
