👉 Pibcorn is a type of corn that has been genetically modified to increase its protein content. This process involves using a gene editing technique called CRISPR-Cas9 to introduce a mutation in the gene encoding for a protein called ribosomal protein S6 (RPS6) into the corn plant's genome. The resulting hybrid plant produces more protein than normal, which is why it has been referred to as "pibcorn."
