EU verdict on CRISPR crops dismays scientists

In a breakthrough ruling on July 25, the European Court of Luxembourg City plants created using CRISPR or other genetic editing tools should receive the same extensive regulatory procedure as the previous generation GMO The decision was made. With this decision, many regulators were not prepared and the UK and Belgian people faced the problem of how to deal with approved and ongoing field trials. However, the effect of the judgment will go far beyond the current trial. Many researchers say that it will adversely affect plant biotechnology. Skeptical about these techniques, Europe has basically avoided genetically modified crops; now they say that it will lose another technical revolution. Some observers say that this decision also hinders basic science and may hamper international trade.

1) Crop editing is more nutritious: crop scientists have already edited the genes of different crops using CRISPR, and the more delicious, nutritious, or superior heat and pressure survival We are creating people. They may use CRISPR to remove allergens from peanuts. Korean researchers are studying whether CRISPR will help bananas to overcome fatal fungal diseases. Several scientists have shown that CRISPR can make horny cattle - a great advance in animal welfare. Recently, large companies like Monsanto and DuPont are starting to license CRISPR technology and hope to develop precious new crop varieties. Although this technique does not completely replace the traditional transgenic technology that can transfer genes from one organism to another, CRISPR can help identify faster crop traits more quickly It is a versatile new tool. gene

On February 15, 2017, the US Patent and Trademark Office announced a ruling on Crispr-Cas 9 (Crispr) 's high - risk patent intervention war. Crispr is a complex genetic editing process used by bacteria to block viruses on behalf of clustered, regularly spaced short palindrome repeats. The change in microbial war may not seem like big news, but it supports the breakthrough of the most important biotechnology in the past 40 years. Scientists have discovered that Crispr can be used as a genetic editing tool for cut and paste - the most accurate type ever. Others have said Dodo, a passenger pigeon, a mammoth, and a frog smoking a stomach "to annihilate". In other words, Crispr is the most powerful technology we have today to design biomass.

Complex and inclusive genetic editing packages like CRISPR and other closely related technologies are as fast as they are inexpensive. Scientists are already using CRISPR to deal with high temperatures and droughts, cattle and pigs, and to make healthier and more capable crops more resistant to pests and diseases.

High yield crops that feed the world of starvation are just the beginning - scientists hope that CRISPR can also help eliminate the stigma of genetically modified organisms (GMOs). In 2016, agricultural technology company DuPont Pioneer announced a new CRISPR compiled corn variety, which is technically not a GMO, due to the way researchers change genes. The difference between genetically modified crops and genetically modified crops is very simple. Traditional GMOs are made by inserting foreign DNA sequences into the crop genome and transferring one or more properties to future organisms. Genetic editing is more accurate than this. Without introducing foreign DNA, you can accurately change genes located in a specific position in the natural genome, knock out or change the position of specific genes.
