About the PGTF

The PGTF is directed by Myeong-Je Cho and located in UC Berkeley’s Innovative Genomics Institute Building. PGTF staff have established efficient transformation and genome editing protocols for an array of major crop species. The facility collaborates with both members of the IGI and the local research community.

The PGTF continues to:

1. Establish and develop enabling technologies for CRISPR-Cas9 applications in target crop species
2. Genome-edit major crop species
3. Collaborate with other principal investigators and researchers
4. Perform research on seed quality improvement via genome editing
