TREECO

TreeCo endeavors to build the R&D engine for the forestry industry by enabling tree breeders with genome editing. TreeCo Inc. was founded in 2019 by principal investigators Rodolphe Barrangou and Jack Wang. The technology known as CRISPR is essentially a DNA molecular scissor that allows the identification of trait driven genetic code to be altered to enhance a characteristic of the finished wood form. TreeCo is a research and development team that can aid forestry businesses with the key technology of wood trait enhancement... TreeCo was formed in 2019 through the meeting of founders Jack Wang and Rodolphe Barrongou. Forestry met CRISPR and the combination was amazing. CRISPR enhancements to food were ten years old at this point. Agriculture was very prolific; crops were protected from everything from pests to frost. Enhancing trees became the next step. TreeCo blends the long history of forestry with the power of genome editing.
