Targeted insertion technologies for large DNA fragments
“Our ambition is to efficiently integrate large DNA fragments into specific genomic locations. Targeted insertion will accelerate R&D, delivering more innovative solutions to farmers, faster.”
Brenden Barco, Senior Scientist, R&D Trait Technologies and Genome Editing Traits, Syngenta
The Challenge
This challenge focused on finding new technologies capable of precisely inserting a DNA fragment into plant genomes.
This was a technically difficult challenge, in a new field, so we were pleased to receive compelling proposals from academia and start-ups across the globe.
We look forward to developing these avenues to the benefit of farmers and consumers.
Moving forward
This challenge is now closed.
