Abstract

European Union (EU) legislation requires the monitoring of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) as well as food and feed consisting of or produced from GMOs. Control laboratories enforcing this legislation need access to comprehensive information on market-relevant GMOs being developed worldwide. Among existing GMO databases, EUginius (EUropean GMO INItiative for a Unified Database System) stands out by compiling data tailored for this purpose. It supports GMO detection with information on over 960 single and stacked events, mostly in crops, covering EU-authorised and unauthorised GMOs as well as organisms developed using new genomic techniques (NGTs). This unique dataset makes EUginius a valuable resource for GMO enforcement institutions and control laboratories.
