Explanation

Meganucleases are considered to be the most specific naturally occurring restriction enzymes. Meganucleases are "molecular DNA scissors" that can be used to replace, eliminate or modify sequences in a highly targeted way. By modifying their recognition sequence through protein engineering, the targeted sequence can be changed. Meganucleases are used to modify all genome types, whether bacterial, plant or animal. Such modification generates tailor-made plants, which possess all the mentioned characteristics.
