Defense-Forward Biosecurity

Codon

Allison Berke makes the case for real-time DNA sequencing and AI tools to detect pathogens before they spread widely. Reading DNA The first step in detecting a novel pathogen is recognizing it as an anomaly amidst a noisy background of other material. After copying the DNA to form a big pool, each piece is sequenced.

CDK7 also plays a role in transcription and possibly in DNA repair. The trimeric Cak complex CDK7/CyclinH/MATl is also a component of TFIIH, the general transcription/DNA repair factor IIH (Morgan, DO., As a TFIIH subunit, CDK7 phosphorylates the CTD (Carboxy-Terminal-Domain) of the largest subunit of RNA polymerase II (pol II).

The use of base editing in stem-cell based therapies

Such stocks have already been created using conventional CRISPR-Cas9 approaches; however, cells edited with CRISPR-Cas9 have an increased risk of random insertions and deletions (indels) which are introduced during a cell’s intrinsic DNA repair process following a DNA double strand break (DSB) from Cas9. 1995;332(4):217–223.

Experimental Myotonic Dystrophy Treatment Teams Monoclonal Antibody and siRNA

PLOS: DNA Science

In these 50 or so conditions, symptoms may appear earlier and worsen from generation to generation, as the mutant gene grows, adding copies of a 3- or 4-base DNA sequence. Now Avidity Biosciences has developed a candidate drug that weds a monoclonal antibody (MAb) to a short piece of RNA – a small interfering RNA (siRNA).

Codon: Notes on Progress #2

Codon

“The recombinant DNA breakthrough has provided us with a new and powerful approach to the questions that have intrigued and plagued man for centuries. The central dogma is often depicted as DNARNA→protein, but it’s much more: A biophysical marvel inside the smallest of vessels. Biology is a Burrito.

Beyond Steel Tanks

Codon

Water accounts for 70 percent of a bacterium by mass; the other 30 percent includes everything else: proteins, RNA, DNA, lipids, and so on. And given that RNA and lipid nanoparticle synthesis is highly efficient compared to typical bioproduction, it’s likely that the company could have scaled to billions of doses.
