First seedless blackberry developed with CRISPR technology
- Thermocycler: Used for PCR amplification of target DNA or gRNA.
- Centrifuge: For concentrating and cleaning cells and nucleic acids, essential at various stages of cell culture and DNA isolation.
- Microscope: Indispensable for monitoring cell growth and transfection efficiency, to see how well cells incorporated CRISPR components.
- Incubator: Ensures optimal growth conditions of cells with proper temperature, humidity and CO2 levels.
By combining these technologies, researchers can make genetic modifications accurately and efficiently, underscoring the enormous potential of CRISPR-Cas9 in agriculture and biotechnology.
