New gene-editing tool is more accurate than CRISPR

Drug Discovery World

SeekRNA’s ability to target selection with precision and flexibility sets the stage for a new era of genetic engineering, surpassing the limitations of current technologies,” Dr Ataide said. Dr Ataide added: “SeekRNA can precisely cleave the target site and insert the new DNA sequence without the use of any other proteins.

COVID prompts another milestone, as India clears first DNA vaccine

pharmaphorum

The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the development of mRNA-based vaccines, and its influence has now extended to DNA-based shots as well, with Zydus Cadila’s ZyCoV-D getting emergency use authorisation in India. Proponents of the approach claim that DNA vaccines may have advantages over other technologies like mRNA.

Accelerating recombinant protein vaccine discovery

Drug Discovery World

While a typical chemisty, manufacturing and controls (CMC) timeline from DNA to Investigational New Drug (IND) application in 2015 would have been approximately 24 months, by 2023 the same pathway was expected to take only 10 months. In particular, we must work to accelerate recombinant protein vaccine development.

Bringing in Light Genome Editing Techniques: ZFN, TALEN and Meganucleases

Roots Analysis

Gene engineering based on recombination was pioneered in the mid-1990s; Currently, development of gene editing technologies has opened up the possibility of modifying genomic sequences in both eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms. Genome Editing is a way of making changes in the DNA.

mRNA Therapeutics and mRNA Vaccines Industry: Current Scenario and Future Trends

Roots Analysis

Messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) is a single-stranded molecule that is complementary to a gene’s DNA. It is important in the process of protein synthesis because mRNA is responsible for transferring genetic information from DNA to ribosomes, which then decodes the genetic information into a protein.
