rAAV Genome sequencing uncovers transgene integrity and packaging impurities

Drug Discovery World

Attendees will hear how library preparation, assessed data quality, and generated important rAAV metrics such as integrity of DNA cargo, truncation events, chimeric transgenes, and levels of co-packaged impurities were performed. A live Q&A session follows the webinar presentation.

How a virus packages its genetic material

Scienmag

RIVERSIDE, Calif. — Each simple RNA virus has a genome, its “native RNA.” This genome dictates how the virus replicates in cells to eventually cause disease. The genome also has the code for making a capsid, the protein shell of a virus that encapsulates the genome and protects it like a nanocontainer. Credit: Zandi lab, […].

What Are Biopharmaceuticals?

Pharma Packaging Solutions

Gene Therapy: Gene therapy is a biologic treatment that involves manipulating a virus to carry a certain, desirable piece of genetic material which can then target a patient’s cells. As biopharma technology progresses, becoming both more prevalent and available, the need for high-quality biopharma packaging increases.

Cancer Grand Challenge: Solving the mystery of DNA rings

Scienmag

In 2014, Professor Anton Henssen discovered something unusual in the cells of pediatric cancer patients: small rings of DNA, which meant that part of the genetic information was no longer packaged in the chromosomes as normal.
