Author summary: The detection of genetically modified organisms (GMO) is crucial for regulatory compliance and market control. Therefore, detection methods are constantly being developed and improved. New genomic techniques (NGT) present unique challenges for detection due to the minimal genetic changes they introduce. The ‘International Conference on GMO Analysis and New Genomic Techniques’ held in March 2023 in Berlin, explored advances in detection methods, such as Next-Generation Sequencing and digital PCR, and highlighted the need for global cooperation and capacity-building initiatives. The conference emphasized international collaboration and addressed the challenges of establishing robust methods for identifying NGT-derived organisms.
