The Onyx Journal of Genetics & Genomics announces the publication of the first chromosome-scale pan-genome of wild rice, Oryza rufipogon, the closest wild relative of cultivated Asian rice. The study, coordinated by the International Rice Research Institute and involving 24 partner institutions, integrates long-read assemblies of 84 geographically diverse accessions …
OJGG Publishes Landmark Methods Paper on Off-Target Prediction for CRISPR Prime Editing
The Onyx Journal of Genetics & Genomics (OJGG) has published a landmark methods paper describing PrimeGuard, a deep-learning framework for predicting off-target activity of CRISPR prime editors. The work, led by Dr. Mei-Lin Cho (Seoul National University) and colleagues at the Broad Institute, demonstrates a 41% reduction in false-positive off-target …
