Low levels of GE canola, flax and soybean were analyzed with RainDance ddPCR system.
Treatment of genomic DNA included non-shearing, QIAshredding and hydroshearing
Expected results were achieved for non-sheared as well as sheared DNA samples.
Quantification of 3 GE traits was achieved in non-sheared barley and wheat DNA.
Overall, there is no need to pre-treat DNA for quantification of GE traits by ddPCR.
