A breakthrough UCLA-led study published in Nature Plants overcomes these limitations by developing a streamlined method for heritable, transgene-free genome editing in plants using a miniature CRISPR ...

cytosine deaminase, and uracil glycosylase inhibitor (to prevent uracil removal)—or ABE, which consists of nuclease-free Cas9 and adenosine deaminase, to the desired target sites in the plant genome.

"Knowledge of genome sequences forms the basis for many approaches in plant breeding, from traditional breeding to the latest methods of genome engineering," says Schneeberger. "In the future ...

By studying historical plant samples from the last few centuries, scientists can uncover clues about how plants respond at the molecular level to environmental pressures, offering valuable insights ...

We apply genomics, genetics, physiology and cell biology to understand the processes of plant genome dynamics, and exploit genome structural knowledge to develop tools and know-how for plant breeding.

A senior from Jamaica has earned top honors at a prestigious scientific conference for his work in plant genome research.

Molecular, or DNA-based, markers have been increasingly important in plant breeding because of their phenotypic ... widespread elements in the genome. Most of these systems rely of PCR amplification, ...

In this webinar, New York University’s Dr. Jae Young Choi will discuss how to perform Pore-C sequencing in plant species to generate chromosome-level genome assemblies and map chromatin interactions ...
