#YearInReview: Scientists at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory developed a capability to insert multiple genes into plants in a single step. Traditional genetic engineering involves a complex, time-intensive process: adding one gene and its associated biochemical machinery to plants, proving it works, then taking that plant material and transforming it a second time with another gene and proving that works, then a third gene and so on. The new delivery method, known as gene-stacking, is easily implemented in existing plant transformation pipelines while enabling much faster results. https://lnkd.in/g3aN_vFa
