It is believed that the term synthetic biology was created in 1970 by geneticist, Waclaw Szybalski 1 as work was being carried out on the development of DNA sequencing and synthesis techniques. The Rockefeller University 2 recently reported the development of a synthetic antibiotic that could potentially work against drug-resistant bacteria.

Sanofi has stated that it intends to become the first pharma company “powered by AI at scale”, and as part of this ambition, agreed a collaboration with BioMap to co-develop advanced AI models and protein Large Language Models that that it hopes will enable biologics design and multiparametric optimisation 2. Obulytix is not alone.

Scientists at the University of Sydney have developed a gene-editing tool with greater accuracy and flexibility than CRISPR. With CRISPR you need extra components to have a ‘cut-and-paste tool’, whereas the promise of seekRNA is that it is a stand-alone ‘cut-and-paste tool’ with higher accuracy that can deliver a wide range of DNA sequences.”

Its job is to carry coding information that is essential to the translation and processing of functional proteins. This is essential to its use as a therapeutic agent and gives the technology a vast versatility making it suitable to treating a wide range of diseases – especially those that have high protein expression.

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. CRISPR libraries: Why do we need them?
