DNA- and protein-based detection methods are widely used tools for monitoring biotechnology-derived crops and their products globally. Agricultural biotechnology companies, food/feed suppliers and supply chains, diagnostic testing companies, and regulatory authorities heavily rely on these two technologies for product development, seed production, compliance, and contractual needs. The primary use of DNA- and protein-based detection methods is either to verify the presence or absence of genetically engineered (GE) materials or to quantify the amount of GE material present in a product. This review describes key parameters of DNA- and protein-based detection methods, and thorough assessment of their applications and their advantage and limitations in agricultural biotechnology are discussed in detail. The review highlights the principle and considerations of detection method selection, which will equip users to choose suitable technology and obtain reliable test results. The review also compares the compatibility of the two technologies in GE product testing using a case study.
