Multiplexing in Loop-mediated Isothermal Amplification (LAMP) for Efficient Detection of Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs)
Isothermal nucleic acid amplification refers to the amplification of nucleic acid using specific primers at a constant temperature where no separated denaturation, annealing and extension steps are required. Isothermal nucleic acid amplification techniques (iNAATs) such as loop-mediation isothermal amplification (LAMP) and recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) have been used in GMO detection (Singh et al. 2019).
