How ZFNs (Zinc Finger nucleases) are greatly helpful for targeted genetic manipulations of traits of crop plants?

21 April 2022 1 5K Report

The emerging genome technologies, including ZFNs (zinc-finger nucleases), TALENs (transcription activator-like effector nucleases), and CRISPR (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat), provide a new way for crop improvement through precise manipulation of endogenous genes in the plant genomes. Among these, CRISPR technologies, including nuclease systems, base editors, and prime editors, are really promising in creating novel crop germplasms.

That is not necessarily so, but they are promising, and that depends on randomness,so the researcher should check his or her outcomes !! Regards.
