This video introduces GEiGS® – Gene Editing induced Gene Silencing from Tropic Biosciences.

This new technology combines the benefits of gene editing and RNAi in a single platform that enables critical disease resistance and valuable quality improvement traits across crops, livestock, and aquaculture.

GEiGS® uses universal gene editing tools such as CRISPR, to minimally edit the host’s own non-coding genes and redirect their silencing activity (RNAi) towards any desired target gene or gene family. GEiGS-BioCompute is the cutting edge bioinformatics platform that designs gene editing solutions to allow precise and effective implementation of GEiGS® technology.

How GEiGS® works:

The GEiGS® platform combines benefits of both gene editing and RNA interference (RNAi) to enable the development of non-transgenic yet hereditary gene silencing applications.

In GEiGS®, instead of editing coding genes, we make minimal edits to specific non-coding genes of a host organism using available molecular tools (e.g. CRISPR, TALENs) so that the natural gene silencing machinery of the host is redirected towards selected targets.

These new gene targets can either be endogenous genes that are silenced for example in crop improvement applications, or exogenous genes belonging to pathogens or pests that are targeted for disease and pest-resistance applications.

Key benefits include:

• Precise, predictable, and stable tuning of target gene expression
• Accelerated development of critical disease and pest resistance traits
• Favourable regulatory classification in multiple markets
• Universal platform that works with existing gene editing tools
