This invention provides compositions and methods for genetic testing of an organism and for correlating the results of the genetic testing with a unique marker that unambiguously identifies the organism. The markers may be internal markers, such as for example single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), short tandem repeats (STRs), or other sites within a genomic locus. Alternatively, the markers may be external, such that they are separately added to the genetic sample before testing.

Analyzing blood type with identification of patient by genotyping

Genetic analysis and authentication

Real-time monitoring of nucleic acid target-identifying signals

Determination of the number of tandem repeat nucleotides using encoded probe-displaying beads

The present invention provides novel DNA constructs encoding high methionine zein proteins, the expression of which is not negatively regulated by the dzr1 regulatory protein. The constructs of the invention comprise a &#x3b4;-zein coding region operably linked to a promoter and a 3' UTR which has been modified so as to be devoid of any binding sites for the dzr1 regulatory protein. Preferably, the entire 3&#x2032; UTR is replaced by a heterologous sequence that does not contain any dzr1 binding sites. Transgenic corn plants comprising the DNA constructs of the invention are also provided. These plants consistently produce high methionine corn seeds.
