Capturing the potential of gene editing for a sustainable bioeconomy

GeneBEcon is a Horizon Europe-funded project that will examine the innovation potential of gene editing in enabling a sustainable bioeconomy in Europe. Through the application of this technology in potato and microalgae, GeneBEcon intends to promote energy-efficient, low-input, and improved agricultural production and industrial processing for a sustainable bioeconomy.

The project is coordinated by the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU, Sweden) and started on September 2022.

 

GeneBEwise – Gene editing workflow and instructions for scientists

GeneBEwise is a complete toolbox, including instructions, validated protocols, and plasmids, to perform CRISPR/Cas-based gene editing in plants and microalgae. This toolbox is a significant outcome of the European project GeneBEcon.
This comprehensive gene-editing toolbox is presented as a decision tree. The plasmids used are accessible in the Vector Vault repository.
