ISAAA, in partnership with the Outreach Network for Gene Drive Research and the Biotechnology Information Centers, will be conducting the third session of the Gene Drive Webinar Series. The next session titled Can gene drive eliminate vector-borne diseases? will be held on July 8, 2021, at 2 PM Manila (7 AM London/4 PM Sydney) via Zoom.
Yiping Qi, associate professor of Plant Science at the University of Maryland (UMD), has introduced a new and improved CRISPR 3.0 system in plants that focuses on gene activation instead of traditional gene editing.
Researchers from the University of Tokyo have developed a new approach in gene editing by modifying the chloroplast genes of plants without leaving traces of genetic engineering technology.
Scientists from Norway came up with a set of guidelines that will evaluate genetically modified (GM) organisms, including genome-edited (GEd) organisms. The guidelines will cover a broad spectrum of principles to ensure that the values from relevant members of society are included.
