How #India is just a #carbonoffset to #BillGates.
And how #Plantgene material is being privatized.
Very cool!
GE made a grass easier to convert into biofuels.
Making plants more suitable to second-generation biofuel production is one of the coolest uses of GE.
A big open question is how well such plants resist bio- & necrotrphs. Plants ultimately evolved lignin for a reason.

TomatoTomato represents two 🍅 genomes as a single sequence, finetuning gLM2. Hoping to evolve this into a pangenome model. #plantgene

After redirecting output to nucleotides other than NNNN, you can now try a BlockDiffusion model trained on a genome 🧬!
If this works as an architecture, I should add more genomes to the training #mlsky #plantgene

A wonderful observation on NGO's steadfast rejection of all forms of Genetic Engineering, despite the field's tremendous progress over the last 30 years:
"If the facts the change, and the arguments stay the same, it's time to critically assess the critiques"

This is the sort of consumer-facing gene edits necessary to convince the public of the virtues of Gene Editing! 😄
Can't wait to bite into a seedless watermelon achieved via genetics rather than chemicals 🍉

Hoengenaert et al. (2022) meddled with plants' cell walls, makng the 🪴 plant 🌿 -> ⛽️ fuel ⛽️ conversion more efficient.
Great paper on what the future of biofuels might look like!
I don't know how I missed it at the time 😅

In planta gene editing with ribonucleoproteins! 🌿 🔧
Exciting development for tissue culture-recalcitrant species like melon 🍈 👏 😌

Beautiful work! Would this be used to make coloured camelina oil?

Exciting paper on engineering of promoters to achieve broad resistance in plants!

Exciting work!

Very cool story! Great to see Gene Editing being used to create potential novel crops like a rubber dandelion 😮
funny to see some scientists using GE to reduce inolin levels here, while others use it to increase inolin levels in chicory
#plantgene
Targeted scar-free gene insertions in plant genomes are now possible 🎯🧬✍️
Schreiber et al. (2023) fused viral exonucleases to Cas9 to generate the 5'-overhangs needed for Homologous Recombination, boosting HDR rates 38X! 🚀
