靶向基因组工程被描述为人类遗传学和植物生物技术等不同领域的“改变游戏规则的技术”。用于精确基因编辑的一种技术利用CRISPR-Cas系统，并且是在各种植物中进行基因工程的有效方法。然而，许多研究人员仍然不知道使用这种技术时出现的技术挑战或其潜在的好处。因此，2015年9月，GARNet和OpenPlant在John Innes中心组织了为期两天的研讨会，为这项重要技术提供了背景信息和实践培训。
Targeted genome engineering has been described as a “game-changing technology” for fields as diverse as human genetics and plant biotechnology. One technique used for precise gene editing utilises the CRISPR-Cas system and is an effective method for genetic engineering in a wide variety of plants. However, many researchers remain unaware of both the technical challenges that emerge when using this technique or of its potential benefits. Therefore in September 2015, GARNet and OpenPlant organized a two-day workshop at the John Innes Centre that provided both background information and hands-on training for this important technology.
