Genotoxicity testing refers to the evaluation of detrimental effects of chemical or physical agents on the genetic processes and related hereditary material of living cells. Mechanism of Genotoxicity / Mutagenicity The interaction of genotoxins / mutagens with the structure of DNA causes damage to the genetic material.

Rolf Turk , Senior Manager, Genomics Medicine at Integrated DNA Technologies, examines how CRISPR is being used to enhance cancer therapies. This can be achieved by the simultaneous knockout of endogenous TCR genes and the insertion of neoantigen-specific TCRs allowing cells to recognise specific mutations.

Last week geneticist Dr Charles Steward shared with us his experiences of searching for a genetic cause for his children’s rare neurological diseases. While there may be just under 20,000 confirmed protein coding genes, it turns out that much of the genome outside of these genes is also important in regulating how the genome is controlled.

Usually, the desired gene, such as human insulin gene, when inserted into the plasmid of the host cell uses transcriptional and translational machinery of the host to express itself. It is worth mentioning that in vitro gene expression requires a suitable host for the production of a specific gene product.
