Patent number: 10344322Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods for detecting and identifying plant events that contain precision targeted genomic loci, and plants and plant cells comprising such targeted genomic loci. The method can be deployed as a high throughput process utilized for screening the intactness or disruption of a targeted genomic loci and optionally for detecting a donor DNA polynucleotide insertion at the targeted genomic loci. The methods are readily applicable for the identification of plant events produced via a targeting method which results from the use of a site specific nuclease.Type: GrantFiled: August 29, 2016Date of Patent: July 9, 2019Assignee: Dow AgroSciences LLCInventors: Lakshmi Sastry-Dent, Matthew A. Simpson, Zehui Cao, Wei Chen, Ning Zhou, Steven R. Webb
