Avesthagen Limited has isolated the gene sequence of the marine organism schizochytrium that is required for the production of the omega 3 fatty acids ALA, and DHA and is currently working on transforming mustard, by inserting the relevant isolated genes, to develop a variant that produces DHA, and on transforming Sunflower to develop variants that produce ALA and DHA.
Avesthagen Limited has identified the gene sequence responsible for producing omega-3 fatty acids (ALA, DHA) in the marine organism *Schizochytrium*. They are currently working on genetically modifying mustard plants to produce DHA and sunflower plants to produce both ALA and DHA.
