[CEBIB @cebib_uon]

Read more about @EasterSyombua's research findings on the publication: https://t.co/s9Pr5t1bIK

[CEBIB @cebib_uon]

Using genome editing technique, CRISPR/Cas9, @EasterSyombua managed to perform targeted mutagenesis in yam (Dioscorea spp.). “CRISPR/Cas9 holds the key to overcoming limitations associated w/ conventional breeding & transgenic methods (GMO),” @EasterSyombua

[CEBIB @cebib_uon]

“This is important for producing yam plants that are more resistant to pests & diseases, w/ better yields, greater nutritional & medicinal value,” @EasterSyombua #UoNat50
