Abstract:

Transgenic technology has attracted worldwide attention, and genetically modified (GM) crops are related to
human health and ecological environment. Therefore, the safety assessment of GM crops is of vital importance, and various
evaluation methods have been developed and constantly improved. It is particularly noted that “omics” technologies have
provided new ideas for the safety assessment of GM crops. This paper discusses the necessity and history of the development
of “omics” technologies and reviews the current status and future trends of the leading “omics” technologies for the safety
assessment of GM crops in order to provide new directions for GM crop safety assessment.

Key words: genetically modified crops, “omics&rdquo, analysis, “omics&rdquo, strategy, multi-omics analysis technology
