Delivering genome editing machinery into plant cells remains a challenge despite the dire need for high yield crops with enhanced nutritional value that are resistant to disease and resilient in the ...

A recent breakthrough in biotechnology promises to change the landscape of plant genetic engineering. Imagine a persistent invader—Agrobacterium—long used to deliver genes into plants. Despite its ...

Sandy Ottensmann has spent the last decade within Danaher’s life sciences and diagnostics business, having led IDT’s Gene Writing and Editing and Core/PCR Business Units since January 2023. She holds ...

However, traditional gene delivery methods, such as Agrobacterium-mediated transformation and gene guns, are often slow, inefficient, and can damage plant tissues. These highlight the need for more ...

New research had the goal of reducing the time and cost it takes to bring an improved crop to the marketplace to improve agriculture sustainability. With the goal of reducing the time and cost it ...

New single-step genome editing techniques that enable the insertion, inversion or deletion of long DNA sequences at specified genome positions have been demonstrated in bacteria.

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. Peter Bendor-Samuel is founder & executive chairman of Everest Group. One of the SciTech trends I’m currently paying attention to ...

Like base editing, prime editing offers a safer way to genome editing by relying on a nickase enzyme that “nicks” one DNA strand at a time, rather than cutting both simultaneously. Then, with the ...
