9 March – Scientists show that CRISPR-Cas12b is a third promising CRISPR editing tool, next to Cas9 and Cas12a, for plant genome engineering. [31] [32] 14 March – Scientists report in a preprint to have developed a CRISPR-based strategy, called PAC-MAN (Prophylactic Antiviral Crispr in huMAN cells), that can find and destroy viruses in vitro.
The IGI sustainable agriculture program and its Plant Genomics and Transformation Facility has developed CRISPR protocols for editing over 30 common crop species, [17] and has worked on developing applications including protecting the world's chocolate supply from cacao swollen shoot virus, [55] [56] removing toxic cyanide precursors in cassava ...
This technology has transformed fields such as genetics, medicine, [179] [180] and agriculture, [181] [182] offering potential treatments for genetic disorders, advancements in crop engineering, and research into the fundamental workings of life. However, its ethical implications and potential unintended consequences have sparked significant ...
[60] [61] Among the four types, TALEN and CRISPR/Cas are the two most commonly used. [62] Recent advances have looked at combining multiple systems to exploit the best features of both (e.g. megaTAL that are a fusion of a TALE DNA binding domain and a meganuclease). [63]
CRISPR gene editing (CRISPR, pronounced / ˈ k r ɪ s p ə r / (crisper), refers to a clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats") is a genetic engineering technique in molecular biology by which the genomes of living organisms may be modified.
Gao used the TALENs and CRISPR gene editing tools without adding or changing any other genes. No field trials were immediately planned. [78] [79] The CRISPR technique has also been used by Penn State researcher Yinong Yang to modify white button mushrooms (Agaricus bisporus) to be non-browning, [80] and by DuPont Pioneer to make a new variety ...

[16] [17] TALEN and CRISPR are the two most commonly used and each has its own advantages. [18] TALENs have greater target specificity, while CRISPR is easier to design and more efficient. [18] The development of the CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing system has effectively halved the amount of time needed to develop genetically modified animals. [19
