Technical Description

  1. PODiR system?
    The PODiR system is one of the bacterial antibiotic resistance acquisition systems, and its presence is expected not only in bacteria but also in animal cells and plant cells. By applying this system, genome editing different from CRISPR-Cas9 can be expected.
  2. PODiR system for plants (cells)
    Assay cells are created and implemented to confirm that the PODiR system works in microorganisms, animals (cells), plants (cells), etc.

Application Destination

  • General breeding of living cells and things
  • Implementation of precise gene therapy
  • Creation of highly functional cells for bioenergy production
