Abstract
There are numerous ways for the identification of accidental changes in GM Foods’ composition, which
may arise due to the genetic changes, such as comparative analysis of (chemical) GM and non GM foods.
These ways of identification of alterations commonly include DNA/RNA microarrays, metabolomics and protein
profiling methods. These profiling methods are very useful but still studies on sensitivity, specificity and
substantiation are needed. Furthermore, bioinformatics studies may be quite useful for the successful
application of these profiling methods to analyze the safety of genetically modified (GM) foods. These
bioinformatic methods employ the comparison of different linked databases which may cover all the information
significant for profiling. These methods are also significant in identifying the changes at various stages of
development under diverse environmental conditions
