AI-guided CRISPR platform developing precision-bred crop varieties
Phytoform Labs is a plant biotechnology company combining artificial intelligence and CRISPR-Cas gene editing to accelerate the development of novel crop traits.
Its platform models sequence-to-function relationships across plant genomes to predict beneficial DNA variants, which are implemented as transgene-free precision edits via protoplast-based delivery.
Lead programmes target tomato and potato varieties for improved yield, climate resilience, and post-harvest performance. Traits are licensed to seed breeders and food producers on a royalty basis.
