The epigenetic state of chromatin, gene activity, and chromosomal positions are interrelated. A research team from the IPK ...

Because they don’t have the option of domesticating the groundcherry over thousands of years of selective breeding, as agriculturists did with tomato plants, the researchers are using CRISPR-Cas9 gene ...

Results prove that inversions can be generated in plants without causing further unwanted changes in the expression of genetic information.

May 30, 2024 — Researchers have developed a novel version of a key CRISPR gene-editing protein ... a way to genetically engineer a type of test plant to more efficiently produce different ...

Nevertheless, the team’s analysis suggested that the CRISPR-edited wood would likely boost fiber production ... But the approach may be less convincing once the trees go outside, said Wout Boerjan, a ...

Genome editing with CRISPR-Cas is a new approach to introduce mutations into the genome of plants in a precise and predictable manner. Even better, with genome editing it is not only possible to ...

However, CRISPR has also been adapted to do other things too, such as turning genes on or off without altering their sequence. There were ways to edit the genomes of some plants and animals before ...

This is a mechanism that can edit the genomes of humans, pathogens, and plants. CRISPR stands for Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats, and Cas9 (which stands for CRISPR ...
