TR8™ Trait Regulation Platform
GeneNeer’s TR8™ Trait Regulation Platform is the next generation of gene-editing technology, facilitating crop trait expression on-demand and providing growers a powerful tool to fortify their produce against climate change, pests, viruses and other natural threats.
Gene Expression
with Precision and Control
The TR8™ Platform offers an effective method of introducing and controlling gene expression in response to external application of specific metabolites, with a high degree of specificity. As a result, GeneNeer’s TR8™ Platform has the potential to become an increasingly popular tool for a wide range of applications in genetic engineering (introducing foreign genetic material into a genome) and genome editing (modifying native trait expression within a given genome).

Induction to
“Unlock” Tolerance Traits
The technology is based on an RNA regulatory element (RE), designed by GeneNeer, which acts as an inducible gene system. The RE is a short, non-coding sequence, which, when spliced into the mRNA in an inducer-dependent manner, “locks” the targeted trait. By externally applying an inducer – the RE “unlocks” the trait, activating its desired gene and controlling its expression.
Advantages of Gene Editing Based on GeneNeer’s Superlines™
