Asklepios BioPharmaceutical has entered a research partnership and option agreement with ReCode Therapeutics for exploring its single-vector gene-editing platform. The new solution will enable complete gene insertion by delivering the gene-editing tool and DNA as mixed cargo to desired targets in one LNP.
Expanding upon the CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing system, researchers at MIT have designed a new technique called PASTE gene editing that can cut out defective genes and replace them with new genes in a safer and more efficient way. The PASTE gene editing technique was recently published in Nature Biotechnology.
Moderna has entered a strategic research and development partnership with ElevateBio’s Life Edit Therapeutics to discover and develop new in-vivo mRNA gene editing therapies. The company’s nuclease collection includes several Protospacer Adjacent Motifs (PAMs), short sequences that help determine the genome’s DNA segments.
With scientists fervently developing mRNA vaccines, nucleic acid therapeutics, and viral vector-based genetherapies, clinicians are set to have a growing number of tools available to treat a wide range of conditions, from infectious diseases to genetic disorders and more. So, we set out to solve some of the problems,” she explains.
subsidiary Bionova Scientific is launching a new business line to provide services around plasmid DNA (pDNA), the companies announced Monday. As part of the pDNA pivot, Bionova is setting up a new facility in The Woodlands, Texas.
Within the emerging innovation stage, cell therapy for ocular disorders, coronavirus vaccine components, and DNA polymerase compositions are disruptive technologies that are in the early stages of application and should be tracked closely. There are two main genes in the AAV genome, rep and cap, which encode nine different proteins.
