| Abstract | Squalane, an emollient used in cosmetics, will be the first product of a biotechnology pilot plant now being started up by Nucelis Inc, a spin-off from Cibus. The plant will use Cibus' Rapid Trait Development System (RTDS), a new gene-editing technology to enable naturally occurring yeast to increase their production of squalene, the precursor of squalane. RTDS differs from genetically modified organisms in that it does not involve the introduction of foreign genes into a microorganism, says Sean O'Connor, president of Nucelis. |
