Researchers achieved unprecedented success in modifying a microbe to produce a compound of interest using a computational model and CRISPR-based gene editing. This could speed up R&D for advanced bio-based products, such as sustainable fuels and plastic alternatives, and speed time to market. https://newscenter.lbl.gov/2020/11/10/microbe-rewiring-biomanufacturing/
