Researchers establish new viable CRISPR-Cas12b system for plant genome engineering:In a new publication in Nature Plants, assistant professor of Plant Science at the University of Maryland Yiping Qi has established a new CRISPR genome engineering system as viable in plants for the first time: CRISPR-Cas12b.
With CRISPR-Cas12b, Qi is presenting a system in plants that is versatile, customizable, and ultimately provides effective gene editing, activation, and repression all in one system.
"This type of technology helps increase crop yield and sustainably feed a growing population in a changing world".
