HRB presents TiGER during SVPW symposium
This Friday, Kitty Huijben will be giving a talk at the Society for Plant Biotechnology and Tissue Culture Symposium (https://www.svpw.nl/) about our TiGER-workflow 🐯 “A transgene-free CRISPR Workflow for genome-edited plants in a single generation.” For a wide range of species, our TiGER workflow overcomes #CRISPR bottlenecks to rapidly deliver top-quality products that can be directly introduced into the […]
CRISPR’s role in mushroom safety: towards antidote discovery
Not yet the season of mushrooms 🍄, but an interesting read on how CRISPR can help preventing deaths from eating the wrong mushroom. 🍄 The Amanita phalloides/death cap/’groene knolamaniet’ is very toxic, and unfortunately looks a lot like the Parasol Mushroom and the younger version looks like the button mushroom. A mistake is easily made. […]
