Syngenta announces discovery of a genome-editing technique called haploid induction editing (HI-Edit) technology, which accelerates seed breeding.

Potatoes may not perish as fast in the future. The J.R. Simplot Company has executed a joint intellectual property licensing agreement with Corteva Agriscience and the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard for foundational CRISPR-Cas9 and related gene editing tools. The technology will give Simplot another avenue to bring desirable traits forward in certain fruits […]

Syngenta has gained access to CRISPR-Cas9 thanks to a non-exclusive IP license from the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard for the genome-editing technology for agricultural applications. CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing technology complements Syngenta’s already robust plant breeding innovation toolbox. Syngenta is applying this technology in multiple crops, including corn, wheat, tomato, rice, and sunflower. “Gaining […]

DuPont Pioneer and the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard have reached an agreement to jointly provide non-exclusive licenses to foundational CRISPR-Cas9 intellectual property under their respective control for use in commercial agricultural research and product development. These two major CRISPR-Cas9 license holders are coming together with the shared goal of enabling all entities wanting […]

Caribou Biosciences, a leading company in CRISPR-Cas genome engineering, and DuPont Pioneer have published a new method for comprehensively mapping CRISPR-Cas9 cleavage sites across the genome of any organism. When comparing SITE-Seq against other off-target analysis techniques, SITE-Seq detected potential off-target cleavage sites with a higher degree of resolution. This study has significant implications for […]
