technology
CRISPR-Cas9
Genome editing system based on the Cas9 nuclease and a guide RNA.
Where it's used
Biofortification of crops
Breeding and genetically engineering staple crops to naturally accumulate higher levels of essential vitamins and minerals, addressing global hidden hunger.
Genetic design of ornamental & landscape plants
Genetic engineering of ornamental plants and landscape trees for novel traits, bioluminescence, and urban air purification.
Genetic engineering & bio-selection
Advanced crop breeding utilizing genomic selection, CRISPR-Cas9, and marker-assisted breeding for high-yield, resilient seeds.
Genome editing
Programmable genome editors — CRISPR-Cas9, base editors and prime editors — delivered ex vivo or in vivo via lipid nanoparticles to treat genetic disease, from the first approved CRISPR therapy Casgevy to in-vivo redosable CRISPR and single-dose cardiovascular base editing.
