— Each simple RNA virus has a genome, its “native RNA.” This genome dictates how the virus replicates in cells to eventually cause disease. The genome also has the code for making a capsid, the protein shell of a virus that encapsulates the genome and protects it like a nanocontainer. RIVERSIDE, Calif.
Both the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines copied RNA sequence from the virus genome and found a way to manufacture it at scale with high-level processes and quality control. These vaccines were developed using different “platform technologies” that involve slotting genetic material from the virus into a tried and tested delivery package.
The key is a double occupation by two methyl groups on the DNA packaging protein histone H3 (H3K4me2). A research team from Cologne has discovered that a change in the DNA structure – more precisely in the chromatin – plays a decisive role in the recovery phase after DNA damage. The discovery was made by […].
In 2014, Professor Anton Henssen discovered something unusual in the cells of pediatric cancer patients: small rings of DNA, which meant that part of the genetic information was no longer packaged in the chromosomes as normal. It was very clear that the rings disturbed the rest of the genome so much that the children’s cells […].
The first ever clinical data with a CRISPR/Cas9 drug used to edit the genomes of cells within the body has yielded impressive results in patients with ATTR amyloidosis, a life-threatening rare disease. . — Eric Topol (@EricTopol) June 26, 2021. . — Eric Topol (@EricTopol) June 26, 2021.
Biotechnology companies of concern include BGI (formerly Beijing Genomics Institute), MGI, Complete Genomics, WuXi Apptec, and any subsidiary, parent, affiliate, or successor of such entities. Office of Management and Budget (OMB) can also specify other equipment or services to be subject to the Act’s prohibitions.
When returned directly to participants, aggregate results should be packaged and communicated in user-friendly formats, such as in newsletters or web pages constructed with readability and health literacy principles in mind. Conversely, a CGM not yet FDA-approved assessed in the study for reliability, would yield an investigational result.
Spectrum and Rutgers Clinical Genomics Laboratory (RUCDR, now IBX) first identified, then introduced the nation to the key benefits of using saliva collected exclusively with the SDNA-1000 saliva collection system as a better viral diagnostic biomaterial for COVID-19 detection.

The field of genomic medicine has reached a true turning point. More efficient, suspension-based cell culture processes are urgently needed in the now fast-developing genomic medicine space. Two-Plasmid Packaging System for Recombinant Adeno-Associated Virus. CEVEC became part of Cytiva in October 2022. 1] BioNews.
It received FDA guidance January 5 th and is in the midst of preparing the first package of investigational new drug (IND) applications – usually with an n-of-1, for individual patients. Patient dosing is expected to begin later this year. “No No one has ever done this before,” Stanley Crooke, M.D.,
Future-proofing Clinical Research The nature of clinical research is evolving, with personalized medicine, genomics, and digital health becoming more prominent. Streamlined workflows, reduced errors, enhanced scalability, and quicker trial durations all contribute to cost efficiencies.
Regarding the risk of hepatotoxicity with high doses: “An arbitrary upper limit of the total vector genome dose or total capsid dose is not recommended, as it is hard to standardize vector measurements across studies or to determine if there is an appropriate upper limit… Assays for empty capsids need better standardization.”
An overview of the genome organization of SARS-CoV-2 is presented in Figure 1A. The nucleocapsid protein forms a supercoiled helix structure and helps package the single stranded viral RNA genome with at least 1,000 nucleocapsid molecules per virion ( 23 , 24 ). SARS-CoV-2 proteome.
Self-amplifying RNA (saRNA): Self amplifying RNA is an engineered form of RNA, combining the amplifying genome (native to certain viruses) to the therapeutic gene of interest. This allows generation of multiple copies of the gene of interest at the target owing to the amplification property of the template.
Live replicating orthopoxviruses, like vaccinia or horsepox, can be engineered to express foreign genes and have been explored as platforms for vaccine development because they possess; (1) large packaging capacity for exogenous DNA inserts, (2) precise virus-specific control of exogenous gene insert expression, (3) lack of persistence or genomic integration (..)
“The beauty of this approach is we can safely upregulate specific genes to affect cell activity without permanently changing the genome and cause unintended mistakes,” Levy said. PRC2 can be blocked with chemicals, but they are imprecise, affecting PRC2 function throughout the genome. it can be reawakened.
In regards to the latter, notable examples include the acquisition of Cergentis, a genomics-focused biotechnology company based in the Netherlands. The deal allows the company to provide proprietary technology and knowledge steeped in fast-evolving genomic techniques that support effective decision-making and R&D program design.
See “Worldwide Pro Forma Revenue” in Quarterly Package of Financial Information for this quarter, which is available on bms.com/investors/financial-reporting/quarterly-results, for information on the revenue of the company and Celgene on a stand-alone basis for the prior-year period. In May, the company announced the U.S.
The Human Genome Project recently marked 20 years since the publication of the first full sets of human genomic sequences, an endeavor that spanned well over a decade. Today, new next-generation sequencing technologies allow for the sequencing of complex genomes within just a day or two.
Machine learning tools are transforming genome mining, allowing AI to identify antimicrobial compounds, like biosynthetic gene clusters, and predict resistance patterns early. By 2024, about 80 percent of pharmaceutical companies had adopted these packaging changes, marking a step forward in responsible antibiotic use and AMR prevention.
Meatable also partnered with Sticta Biologicals to develop a genome-scale metabolic model of porcine cells, optimizing nutrients for cell growth with more yield and reduced variability. This oven’s AI-driven features also offer insights into temperature regulation and nutrient preservation.
The draft guidance recommends that no more than 15 questions are included in the briefing package. CBER will not commit to reviewing packages greater than 250 pages. The draft guidance states that a pre-BLA meeting request should be submitted at least 4 months before the anticipated BLA submission.

22, 2020 (Healthday News) — As Congress passed a $900 billion pandemic relief package on Monday, U.S. Instead, it may have been identified there first because the British government has a strong monitoring system that has tracked tens of thousands of genomic sequences of virus samples. TUESDAY, Dec.
