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 ...

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 ...

Scientists at the VIB-UGent Center for Plant Systems Biology and VIVES University College have developed a new method to genetically improve poplar trees without introducing foreign DNA into its ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Scientists have developed a 'prime assembly' genome editing method capable of inserting DNA segments up to 11,000 base pairs, enabling replacement of entire genes and correction of up to 1,000 ...

New technology enables the insertion of a large segment of DNA into a genome, potentially expanding gene therapy treatment ...
