Gene editing: beyond the hype

pharmaphorum

Cutting edge’ is, for once, a truly apt description when it comes to gene editing – both because the field is pushing medicine into areas we might never have dreamed possible, and because these technologies involve literally cutting DNA at a specific point in the genome. Zinc fingers. billion in funding.

What the Glycome Can Tell Us About Persistent HIV Infection

XTalks

Studies have identified the presence of two types of HIV-infected CD4+ T cells: ‘Transcriptionally inactive’ cells that do not typically produce viral RNA or viral proteins. This may help explain why HIV is adequately controlled, but not eradicated, with current treatments. The research study was published in Cell Reports.

Synthetic biology tools advancing and accelerating drug discovery efforts

Drug Discovery World

If you want to order gene-length sequences, rather than short oligos for PCR, the waiting times are around two or three weeks at least. Anita Ramanathan outlines four synthetic biology approaches that are improving and accelerating drug discovery. . This way, we can separate erroneous sequences from accurate ones.

Delivering on the promise of gene editing

Drug Discovery World

These platforms all induce double strand cuts in the chromosomal DNA that can be sealed by the cell, leading to a specific gene disruption, or resulting in a new target site for inserting DNA segments. Gene editing tools can sometimes bind to unintended sites, typically because of sequence homologies and/or mismatch tolerance.
