Why Trusted Research Environments are key to the future of genomics  

Drug Discovery World

Genomics is driving a revolution in drug development and, in the long run, the state of public healthcare. The first draft human genome took a decade to create, and 13 years to complete. A robust environment will contain secure access controls that can prevent and detect misuse of data.

The doors CRISPR libraries have and will open in phenotypic drug screening 

Drug Discovery World

Steve Wowk , VP, Business Unit and General Management of Integrated DNA Technologies, shared with DDW the value of CRISPR-Cas9 in drug discovery. In an effort to defend themselves against viral infection, bacterial cells capture and copy DNA fragments of bacteriophages into their genome. This can be achieved by CRISPR screening.

Women in Science Who Have Paved the Way Forward in Genetics

XTalks

The Human Genome Project recently marked 20 years since the publication of the first full sets of human genomic sequences, an endeavor that spanned well over a decade. Today, new next-generation sequencing technologies allow for the sequencing of complex genomes within just a day or two.

Delivering on the promise of gene editing

Drug Discovery World

These platforms all induce double strand cuts in the chromosomal DNA that can be sealed by the cell, leading to a specific gene disruption, or resulting in a new target site for inserting DNA segments. Reduce/eliminate chromosomal disruptions caused by double-strand DNA breaks. In one example, Choi et al.

Optimising AAV capsid purification through improved analytics

Drug Discovery World

This helps ensure a high concentration of loaded capsids and adequate removal of impurities, such as host cell proteins and DNA. In AAV therapeutics, empty capsids are those that are not packaged with the therapeutic DNA. A crucial part of the AAV workflow is the purification of viral vectors.
