Questions and answers

Question: Is CRISP-CAS not dangerous?
Answer: As no new genetic material is introduced in the plant and the changes are targetted and precise (meaning we know what we want to achieve) the chances of disruptive new effects are extremely low and prior to market release plants are tested. With traditional mutagenesis breeding same effects, however random are obtained.
