Abstract :
Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are plants or animals whose genetic composition has been transformed using recombinant DNA technology. This technology has various new features, such as resistance to herbicides, viruses, and insects. Recently, genetic modification of food products has increased in order to reduce poverty and hunger across the world and increase food production. However, the impact of GMOs on human health is a growing concern worldwide. Due to the increased global production of GMOs, the presence of these agents in food products needs to be monitored, which has recently attracted the attention of many researchers in order to develop rapid, simple, accurate, and sensitive detection methods for these products. Electrochemical DNA biosensors are among the quickest methods that have been extensively studied due to their high sensitivity, cost-efficiency, rapid reaction, and applicability in aqueous solutions. The present study aimed to review the studies focused on the detection of GMO based on electrochemical biosensors.
