Cibus announces important update to rice gene editing conversion rates

Cibus (CBUS) issued a correction relating to the rice conversion rates previously disclosed in its January 16, 2025 press release. The Company has concluded that the gene editing conversion rates of 10-25% in Rice have not been reconfirmed based upon subsequent experiments and high variability in the conversion rate data. Cibus is continuing to advance its oligonucleotide directed mutagenesis, ODM, editing technologies to drive improved editing conversion rates across its developed traits across its crops of interest.
