  • Molecular Biology

Background:

  • Genome editing revolutionizes plant breeding by enabling precise gene modifications.
  • Detecting foreign DNA in genome-edited crops is crucial for regulatory approval and consumer safety.
  • Current methods for foreign DNA detection face limitations in sensitivity and applicability.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the feasibility and accuracy of k-mer analysis for detecting foreign genes in tetraploid potatoes.
  • To assess the efficacy of k-mer analysis in identifying short DNA fragments in genome-edited potato genomes.
  • To establish k-mer analysis as a reliable method for regulatory compliance in genetically modified potatoes.

Main Methods:

  • Computer simulations were employed to assess k-mer analysis feasibility in tetraploid potato genomes.
  • Next-generation sequencing (NGS) data was utilized to analyze genome-edited potato samples.
  • K-mer analysis was performed to detect the presence of foreign DNA sequences.

Main Results:

  • K-mer analysis demonstrated high accuracy in detecting foreign genes within the potato genome.
  • The method successfully identified DNA fragments as short as 20 nucleotides.
  • NGS data at a depth of ×30 genome size was sufficient for accurate detection.

Conclusions:

  • K-mer analysis is a highly accurate and feasible method for detecting foreign genes in genome-edited potatoes.
