Due to population growth in the coming years, adequate food supply is the world's biggest problem, and it seems that one way to meet this need is to produce transgenic products. Transgenic products are created using modern technology to create or enhance a desirable property, such as increasing resistance to weeds or improving nutritional properties. The advantages of transgenic products include their resistance to pests, diseases and non-biological stresses. Given that Iran is one of the countries that is a member of the International Biosafety Protocol and the competent legal authorities are responsible for detecting transgenic items and assessing their safety, therefore, identifying and examining the safety of these products is of particular importance. In this paper, we have tried to examine the new methods of identifying and tracking transgenic processes.
