The UC Berkeley research team used CRISPR/Cas9 to increase gene expression in rice by modifying its upstream regulatory DNA. While other studies have used this technology to inactivate or decrease gene expression, this study is the first to use gene editing without bias to increase gene expression and subsequent photosynthetic activity.

While other studies have used CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing to disable or decrease gene expression, the new study published in Science Advances used unbiased gene editing for the first time to increase gene expression and subsequent photosynthetic activity.
