STONY BROOK, N.Y. — December 6, 2021 — Applied DNA Sciences Inc. (Applied DNA), a developer of Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR)-based DNA manufacturing and nucleic acid-based technologies, announced today a development in its cotton genomics program that the company believes can bring forensic proof of cotton authenticity and provenance specifically related to regional cotton varietals to give brands and relevant regulatory authorities access to fiber origin data regardless of location of manufacture. The company recently presented initial data describing a methodology and findings for the successful determination of Egyptian cotton fiber, yarn and fabric origin using the combination of cotton genomics and isotopic analysis (IA) at an American Apparel and Footwear Association event. Applied DNA intends to publish its methodology and data upon completion of its manuscript.
该计划是持续的应用基因组学策略，用于鉴定与特定地理位置内的棉花生长相关的基因组标志物，已鉴定对吉萨94的生物标志物，该生物标志物是在生产优质棉纺织品中使用的最大种植的埃及棉花。通过稳定同位素分析，通过公司和Isotuch Laboratories的合作，确认将该生物标志物确认在埃及生长的吉萨94，通过公司和Isotech Lablatories之间的合作，它是一分的水库。数据显示胶扎94生物标志物存在于埃及患有IA签名的所有样品中存在。生物标志物不存在于证实不是埃及原产地的样品中。
鉴于这些调查结果，该公司认为，它已经证明了第一次通过基因分型明确地确定棉的地理来源，这是一种确定生物DNA中的微小差异的过程。The Company has filed a provisional patent application on its newly discovered biomarker with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and intends to develop the biomarker into a rapid and cost-effective geoTyping™ assay that can be performed by various supply chain stakeholders and/or any molecular diagnostics lab.
詹姆斯议员博士，适用DNA主席和首席执行官，陈述：“纺织品牌从全球厂房采购成品，棉花的出处往往是不透明的品牌，监管机构和消费者。通过DNA的地理型测定埃及吉萨94棉花原因的能力是一款仍然在20162年通过领导美国零售商销售的误标记的棉板销售的数百万美元的多百万美元的影响而恢复的行业变化器。该行业正在寻求寻求一种快速，准确，也可以建立棉花起源，以满足棉花真实性和出处的担忧。通过落地典型，我们正在努力从美国，印度，澳大利亚和中国带来与棉花相同的保真度。“
