What is genome editing?



I got a bit of history, but I do not quite know the technology itself, genome editing ...

I certainly do not understand the difference between genetic modification and ...

Okay, let's tell you the definition of genome editing using diagrams!

What is genome editing?

I compiled in a figure how to do genome editing in the figure.
With genomic editing technology, you can truncate the target gene with high probability or add a new gene.

What is the difference between genetic recombination and genome editing?

Subsequently, we have schematized genetic recombination technology. (Agrobacterium method in this case)
How is genome editing technology superior to genetic recombination technology?



"Genetic recombination" technology indicated on the previous page that it is possible to create target plants with high probability compared to breed improvement by mating.
However, in reality, genes may not be recombined as expected, sorting and culturing may be necessary, which is overwhelmingly less than breeding by mating, but to some extent The time was necessary as it was.
On the other hand, genomic editing does not need to be "infected" like genetic recombination and directly cuts or adds genes, so with high probability, in a shorter time You can make plants and etc you can.
