How is genome editing transforming crop improvement strategies in Africa, and what collaborations are needed to support its adoption?
Genome editing is one of the recent molecular biology innovations that utilize enzymes to introduce useful small changes in the genetic make-up of organisms. The technology is particularly important to Africa as it is relatively cheaper, and accessible to individual researchers or small enterprises, thus basically democratizing the benefits of science. In order to access and make best use of this technology, public institution researchers have been collaborating closely with the private sector.
Ask any science related question to the community. You can ask an unlimited number of questions but only 3 can remain unaddressed at any given time. All your questions will be listed under “Questions“
Your question is screened for subject matter and assigned to the most appropriate experts in the subject. If your question is deemed too verbose or unclear, it will be rejected, at which point you can modify your question for resubmission.
The assigned experts submit their answers within a set duration, after which the first submission is scrutinized for correctness. If deemed as such, the answer is made public, otherwise the question is re-submitted to the assigned panel of experts.
Once public, your question will be visible to the entire community on the AfriSD answers page, with credit to the expert who provided the answer.
