Leading innovators in transcription factors for AAV for the pharmaceutical industry

Pharmaceutical Technology

There are two main genes in the AAV genome, rep and cap, which encode nine different proteins. Transcription of the rep gene is initiated from the p5 or p19 promoters to, respectively, produce the large (Rep78 and Rep68) and small (Rep52 and Rep40) nonstructural Rep proteins.

Nobell Foods Receives $75 Million In Funding to Commercialize Their Plant-Based Cheese

XTalks

This cheese is different from other plant-based cheeses because the start-up uses genetically engineered soybeans to produce plant-based casein. Other companies, such as Remilk , make dairy proteins in a lab that mimic the natural versions from milk, but alter them to make them vegan, lactose-free, cholesterol-free cheeses.
