Agragene

Agragene is an agricultural biotechnology company using CRISPR-based genome engineering to build Precision-Guided Sterile Insect Technology (pgSIT), a modern evolution of the sterile insect technique that breeds insect lines producing only sterile males. Released into a field, those males mate with wild female crop pests and produce no viable offspring, giving growers season-long local pest suppression without chemical pesticides or irradiation. Founded in San Diego in 2017 and now headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri, the company's first product, KNOCKOUT-SWD, targets Spotted Wing Drosophila — a pest behind more than $500M in annual US berry losses — with a limited launch stated for 2027. Agragene has no developer program and publishes no API product; its only machine-readable surface is an anonymous Wix site MCP endpoint plus a company-authored llms.txt.

Agragene is listed with 1 API on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Agriculture, AgTech, Biotechnology, Gene Editing, and Pest Control.

Agragene’s developer surface includes engineering blog, FAQ, support, authentication, and 11 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Health regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero: never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and several others — scorable at all.

The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it.
