The research builds on epigenetic gene regulation work from @jacobsenucla.bsky.social's lab at UCLA.
Harris is keen to emphasis the incredible team effort behind this work, especially the first authors, Dr Jenia Binenbaum & Vanda Adamkova based in the Harris lab.

They found that a specific biological switch, H3K4me3, can directly activate genes and encourage genetic recombination – the exchange of genetic material to create DNA with new traits – even in areas of the genome that are normally hard to access.

The research led by @c-jake-harris.bsky.social's group in collaboration with @hendersi.bsky.social's lab, has uncovered a new way to reprogramme plant genomes using ‘epigenetic engineering’ to change gene activity without altering the underlying DNA sequence.

New tool unlocks non-GM routes to fast-track breeding and crop innovation | Department of Plant Sciences
A new tool to fine-tune plant genomes without changing their DNA could offer a fast and precise alternative to GM breeding and play a key role in developing resilient crops in response to climate chan...
