Modifying fat content in soybean oil with the molecular scissors Cpf1
Phys.Org CRISPR–Cpf1 is introduced into plant cells without cell walls (protoplasts) as a pre-assembled complex of the protein Cpf1 (red scissors) and the CRISPR-RNA (crRNA, in blue). Cpf1 functions as gene scissors that cuts the plant's DNA (shown …more. Scientists use CRISPR–Cpf1 technology to modify fat in soybean oil |
