In such cases, genetic mutation is achieved, but the transgene remains unless it is segregated away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Since the virus we used is an RNA virus, it&#8217;s not going to integrate into the genome,&#8221; said UC Davis Professor of Plant Biology Savithramma Dinesh-Kumar. &#8220;When the seeds are formed, they&#8217;re completely virus-free, so you don&#8217;t have any footprint of the things you put in but you introduced the desired mutation.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The next step of the team is to find out how to manipulate the viruses to carry the enzyme used to cut and edit the plant&#8217;s\u00a0genome\u00a0and single guide RNA together.
