Scientists Review ODM as Precision Genome Editing Technology
December 9, 2015| |
In an article published in Plant Biotechnology Journal, the new genome-editing technique called oligonucleotide-directed mutagenesis (ODM) was presented and reviewed as an option to accelerate development of important traits in plants. According to the paper, oligonucleotides can be used to make targeted edits in plasmid, episomal, and chromosomal DNA of bacterial, fungal, mammalian and plant systems. ODM is one of the many tools of Cibus' Rapid Trait Development System (RTDS™) technology, which offers a rapid, precise and non-transgenic breeding alternative for trait improvement in agriculture to address the urgent need to accelerate the development of these traits in plants and increase global agricultural productivity.
