  • GENOME EDITING BY POLLEN-MEDIATED TRANSFORMATION
    Publication number: 20200399647
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods of genome-editing transformation that delivers to the cell the RNA-guided endonucleases as well as the required guide RNA, without the need of tissue culture to regenerate the plant. Thus, methods as described herein enable any plant species to have its genome edited in a process that is simple and efficient. This process utilizes genome-editing pollen cells, and delivering the required components for the editing by combining them with cell-penetrating peptides.

  • Method for genome complexity reduction and polymorphism detection
    Patent number: 9850481
    Abstract: The present invention provides methods to produce a reduced representation of a genome for sequencing and DNA polymorphism detection. In particular, the invention provides PCR-based methods, with normalization of the amplified products using a duplex-specific nuclease, in order to reduce over-representation of PCR products. Oligonucleotides for use in the disclosed method are also provided.
