Biodiversity (communications arising): maize transgene results in Mexico are artefacts. Nature 416:601-602. Interpretive Summary: Technical Abstract: Quist and Chapela's conclusion that the transgenes they claim to have detected in native maize in Oaxaca, Mexico, are predominantly reassorted and inserted into a "diversity of genomic contexts" seems to be based on an artefact arising from the inverse polymerase chain reaction (i-PCR) they used to amplify sequences flanking 35S transgenes from cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV). |
