Project Number: FP7-KBBE-2013-7-613908-Decathlon
Development of Cost efficient Advanced DNA-based methods for specific Traceability issues and High Level On-site applications
Useful information
• Project acronym - DECATHLON
• Project duration - 3 years (2013-2016)
• Project website - http://www.decathlon-project.eu/
• Develop advanced, dedicated DNA-based methodologies
for lab-based and on-site application for selected issues in the
fields of 1) food pathogens, 2) traceability of GMOs, and 3)
customs issues;
• Develop and apply minimal performance parameters
(MPPs) for DNA extraction, isothermal amplification, different
PCR-based approaches and next-generation sequencing (NGS)
strategies with emphasis on cost efficiency;
• Include socio-economic factors and other impact criteria in
the development of methods, such as on-site applicability
and equivalence to current standard approaches;
• Demonstrate the advanced characteristics of developed
methods that are important for decision making, including
measurement uncertainties under suboptimal conditions;
• Develop training schemes for inter-laboratory validation
trials and facilitate subsequent application of the developed
methods by additional laboratories on the basis of e-learning
tools.
ABOUT
An initiative funded by the 7th Research Framework Programme of
the European Commission that aims to develop cost efficient
advanced DNA-based methods for specific traceability issues and
high level on-site applications.
EXPECTED RESULTSMORE DETAILS
The Decathlon project brings together a broad range of experts and
expertise to jointly work on the development of new or improved
methods that are needed in the field of
1) Identification of Food pathogens
2) Traceability and identification of GMOs
3) Custom issues (tobacco/endangered species)
The project will develop advanced methods for all
three application areas with method characteristics
that meet the requirements of the individual areas.
Field-related technical expertise will provide insight
into the current, most relevant bottlenecks in the
fields of application.
