Technology
BetterSeeds develops proprietary gene-editing technologies for agricultural crop improvement, combining second-generation compact CRISPR nucleases with its EDGE delivery platform. The compact nucleases are designed to address limitations of conventional CRISPR systems related to molecular size, delivery, cost, and implementation complexity. The EDGE platform is intended to facilitate the introduction of gene-editing components into plant material and streamline the development of edited crop varieties. These technologies support the development of targeted agricultural traits, including climate resilience, disease resistance, and improved crop productivity.
