Advanced Genome Technologies will adapt for use in plants, fungi, and microbes, a genome modification strategy. The method relies on patented and proprietary knowledge. Our goal is to increase the frequency of targeted genome modification and to enable commercial use. Advanced Genome Technologies' business plan will complement ongoing genome modification research at ISU; expanding on the opportunity for researchers to conduct novel genome modification experiments and increase the local genome modification knowledge base. The biotechnology business expertise of AGT's founders will help stimulate new ideas and research opportunities for those interested in agronomic and industrial trait generation
