Mantis™ Gene Editing Technology
Mantis™ Gene Editing Technology
The Editing Tools
- Mantis™ comprises several nucleases discovered from bacterial origins. These nucleases have been proven to induce non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) and homologous recombination (HR) activity in plants.
- These nucleases come with compatible deaminases for base editing applications.
Why Mantis™?
- Validated performance: Mantis™ technology has been validated in multiple crops, including tomato, rice, sorghum and peanuts.
- Editing efficiency: Mantis™ on-target editing efficiency is competitive with market leading, RNA-guided nucleases.
- Versatility: With multiple nuclease options, Mantis™ offers a range of PAM sequence and protein size options.
- Patent protection: Mantis™ is patented technology in the US and other relevant geographies.
- Flexible terms: License Mantis™ technology with no restrictions on crop or trait applications.
