how can you confirm that organism has been genetically transformed Solution We can confirmed it by following way - The finding that a recombinant organism contains the inserted genes is not usually sufficient to ensure that they will be appropriately expressed in the intended tissues. To confirm the presence of the gene, PCR, Southern hybridization and DNA sequencing are employed to determine the chromosomal location and number of gene copies. To assess gene expression, transcription, RNA processing patterns and expression and localization of protein product(s) must usually be assessed, using methods including northern hybridization, quantitative RT-PCR, Western blot, immunofluorescence and phenotypic analysis. When appropriate, the organism\'s offspring are studied to confirm that the trans-gene and associated phenotype are stably inherited. In some cases further generations must be produced and confirmed, to ensure the absence of undesirable traits in the modified organism. For hybrid products such as maize, the modified organism is crossbred with other cultivars that possess required traits.
