Bread and biscuits made from Crispr-edited wheat showed substantially reduced acrylamide levelsScientists have developed gene-edited wheat that can be used to make bread that is less carcinogenic when toasted.Researchers at Rothamsted Research in Harpenden, Hertfordshire, used Crispr genome editing, which allows researchers to selectively edit the DNA of living organisms. This technology was adapted for use in the laboratory from naturally occurring genome editing systems found in bacteria. Cont
