From Gene to Protein: The Journey of Protein Expression Technology

Roots Analysis

The main components of protein expression are a vector (plasmid) containing the gene of interest, and a host cell, for instance mammalian or prokaryotic cell. Protein expression process can be divided into following steps: Transcription: The DNA sequence of a gene is transcribed into mRNA.

Risk Assessment for use of Engineered Genetic Materials in Clinical Research

Advarra

The use of engineered genetic materials in clinical trials is rapidly expanding, with potential applications for genetic vaccines, gene-modified cellular therapies, and gene therapies. Either way, occupational exposure to these gene delivery systems bears potential risks to the research staff.

How Potential Changes to the NIH Guidelines Could Impact IBC Review

WCG Clinical

Although the NIH Guidelines were originally written with non-clinical laboratory research in mind, they also apply to human gene transfer (HGT) research, wherein rsNA or rsNA-containing products are administered to research participants. Since then, however, certain genetic engineering technologies (e.g.,

Could Fluoride be the Solution to Antibiotic Resistance? A New Study Weighs In

The Pharma Data

The UC Santa Barbara research uses a method that addresses not only antibiotic overuse, but also the containment of genetically modified organisms (GMOs). “If Justin is replacing that with the gene for these fluoride exporters.”

Gene Switch: A Novel Platform for Switching Genes On and Off

Roots Analysis

Overview of Gene Switch The notion that genes might be turned on and off was discovered several decades ago when studies revealed that E. Gene switches are sites on genes where regulatory molecules can bind to trigger transcription process, leading to expression of a particular gene.
