A Review of Gene Editing Technology and its Application in Agriculture - ResearchAndMarkets.com

The "Gene Editing Technology and its Application in Agriculture" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

Gene editing is the latest buzzword in the biotechnology field which constitutes a set of new genetic engineering techniques for altering the genetic material of plants, animals and microbes.

Out of the three important approaches to make site-specific double-stranded breaks in DNA - zinc finger nucleases (ZFNs), transcription activator-like effector nucleases (TALENs) and Clustered Regularly Inter-spaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR), it is CERISPR that has become the most popular gene editing technique.

This report highlights the many major breakthroughs which have been achieved in recent years in the agriculture sector in terms of developing new traits of crops using this technology. The report describes the path breaking work of a number of major biotech companies, leading institutions including some of the leading Agricultural Universities, other Government R&D institutions and various contract research organizations which are currently engaged in research and development projects involving this disruptive technology.
