Enhanced Genome Editing Benefits from Magnetofection

Magnetofection is a technique that combines magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) with nucleic acids (such as plasmid DNA, siRNA, or other genetic material) to facilitate their delivery into target cells using an external magnetic field. While magnetofection is primarily used for gene delivery, it can also offer several benefits for genome editing »

Site Directed Nucleases (SDN) for Targeted Genome Modification

SDN is the collective term for the technique of creating a specific break in DNA with a nuclease, an enzyme that cuts DNA. Targeted modifications to the plant's traits are intended to be introduced by using the DNA break and the plant's inherent repairing systems. Site-directed nucleases (SDNs) are a »
