Precision BioSciences, Inc., and DuPont announced that the Directed Nuclease EditorTM (DNE) technology developed by Precision BioSciences and implemented by DuPont business Pioneer Hi-Bred has achieved a technical milestone. The Plant Journal will publish a study demonstrating that Directed Nuclease Editor technology can be used to engineer the genetics of row crops and may be a useful tool for a broad array of genome engineering applications.
In the study, Pioneer scientists used Precision's Directed Nuclease Editor technology to recognize and modify a pre-determined, naturally occurring locus in the corn genome. The genetic modifications introduced by the ...
