Corn event 5307
View Patent ↗A novel transgenic corn event designated 5307, is disclosed. The invention relates to DNA sequences of the recombinant constructs inserted into the corn genome and of genomic sequences flanking the insertion site that resulted in the 5307 event. The invention further relates to assays for detecting the presence of the DNA sequences of event 5307, to corn plants and corn seeds comprising the genotype of and to methods for producing a corn plant by crossing a corn plant comprising the event 5307 genotype with itself or another corn variety.
1. A method of detecting the presence of a nucleic acid molecule that is unique to event 5307 in a sample comprising corn nucleic acids, the method comprising:
a) isolating a nucleic acid molecule from corn;
b) combining the nucleic acid molecule with a pair of nucleic acid primer sequences, wherein the first primer sequence is selected from any one of SEQ ID NO. 8 through SEQ ID NO: 14 or SEQ ID NO: 69 through SEQ ID NO: 72, or their complements; and the second primer sequence is selected from any one of SEQ ID NO: 15 through SEQ ID NO: 68, or their complements;
c) performing a nucleic acid amplification reaction which results in an amplicon; and
d) detecting the amplicon.
2. A method of detecting the presence of a nucleic acid molecule that is unique to event 5307 in a sample comprising corn nucleic acids, the method comprising:
a) isolating a nucleic acid molecule from corn;
b) combining the nucleic acid molecule with a pair of nucleic acid primer sequences along with their respective probe sequence, wherein the primer pair and probe sequences are: (i) primer sequences SEQ ID NO: 82 and SEQ ID NO: 83 and probe sequence SEQ ID NO: 84, (ii) primer sequences SEQ ID NO: 85 and SEQ ID NO: 86 and probe sequence SEQ ID NO: 87, or (iii) primer sequences SEQ ID NO: 88 and SEQ ID NO: 89 and probe sequence SEQ ID NO: 90
c) performing a nucleic acid amplification reaction which results in an amplicon comprising the probe; and
d) detecting the probe.
3. A DNA molecule comprising the amplicon produced by the method of claim 1 .
