CRISPR-CAS9

CD BioSciences is a leading bio-environmental company specializing in CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing services for biofuel applications. We offer a comprehensive suite of services tailored to the needs of researchers, biofuel companies, and other stakeholders in the renewable energy sector. Our services encompass a wide range of biofuel feedstocks, including herbaceous and woody plants, microalgae, and other promising sources of biomass.

CRISPR-Cas9 is a bacterial defense system that has been adapted for gene editing in various organisms. The system consists of two main components.

• Cas9 enzyme: This enzyme acts as molecular scissors, cutting DNA at a specific location.
• Guide RNA (gRNA): This RNA molecule guides the Cas9 enzyme to the desired location on the DNA.

The gRNA is designed to be complementary to the target DNA sequence, allowing it to bind specifically to the target site. Once the gRNA binds to the target DNA, the Cas9 enzyme cuts the DNA at that location. The cell's natural DNA repair mechanisms then kick in, either joining the cut ends together or introducing new genetic material at the cut site.

• Gene knockout: This technique involves disrupting a specific gene to study its function or to eliminate an undesirable trait.
• Gene knock-in: This technique involves inserting a new gene into a specific location in the genome.
• Gene editing: This technique involves making precise changes to a specific gene, such as correcting a mutation or introducing a new trait.

• Reduced Greenhouse Gas Emissions: Biofuels produced from CRISPR-Cas9 modified feedstocks can significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions compared to fossil fuels.
• Sustainable Agriculture: CRISPR-Cas9 can be used to develop biofuel crops that require less water, fertilizer, and pesticides, promoting sustainable agriculture practices.
• Reduced Land Use: By increasing the yield and efficiency of biofuel feedstocks, CRISPR-Cas9 can help reduce the amount of land required for biofuel production.

• Targeted Gene Knockout: We offer efficient gene knockout services to inactivate specific genes within plant genomes, which is crucial for understanding gene function and developing crop varieties with desired traits.
• Gene Knock-in and Replacement: Our services include the precise introduction of new alleles into the genome, enabling the creation of improved crops with defined SNP functions.
• Transcriptional Regulation: We provide services to manipulate gene expression levels and timing during plant growth and development, using CRISPR-Cas9 as a platform for delivering regulatory components to specific genomic sites.
• Accuracy Improvement: We focus on enhancing the specificity of CRISPR-Cas9 to minimize off-target effects, ensuring the safety and reliability of our gene editing services.
• Delivery Systems for gRNA: Cas9: We employ state-of-the-art delivery systems to mediate genome editing in vivo, using Agrobacterium-mediated transformation to deliver Cas9 and sgRNA expression cassettes into plant cells.
• CRISPR-Cas9 in Microalgae: We specialize in genome engineering using CRISPR-Cas9 in microalgae, resulting in genome deletion and replacement, which is pivotal for the production of high-value materials such as protein.
