Invention

The invention provides for a method for targeted alteration of DNA using a newly designed (donor) oligonucleotide resulting in more efficient Targeted Nucleotide Exchange (TNE) or Oligonucleotide Directed Mutagenesis (ODM).

Benefit

Genome editing technologies are rapidly emerging. Many targeted genome editing technologies require the (co-)transfection of single stranded oligonucleotides designed to direct the repair of a mutation of interest. The patented genome editing technology makes use of an oligonucleotide that is capable of hybridizing to the DNA and that has the mismatch at most two nucleotides of its 3′ end, resulting in efficient TNE.

Vision

Efficient targeted genome editing technologies are important research tools in gene validation and may be used for introduction of new traits in crop germplasm. The more effective genome editing technology of the present invention contributes thereto.
