Key considerations before commencing cell line development

Drug Target Review

After binding, the transposase enzyme will excise the flanked section of DNA (termed the transposon) and insert it into sites in the genome at specific target sequences. An example of the former includes a report in the journal Nature of a new tool that can increase the amount of DNA that can be inserted using CRISPR-Cas9 technology.

Gene editing extends lifespan in mouse model of prion disease

Broad Institute

The treatment, which uses base editing to make a single-letter change in DNA, reduced levels of the disease-causing prion protein in the brain by as much as 60 percent. In 2018, Liu, who works on the same floor as Minikel and Vallabh at Broad, approached them and proposed a collaboration.

Merkin Prize in Biomedical Technology awarded to F. William Studier for development of widely used protein- and RNA-production platform

Broad Institute

By 1984, he and Brookhaven colleague John Dunn successfully identified and cloned the protein within T7 that was responsible for rapidly copying T7 DNA into many corresponding strands of RNA — a critical step in the bacteriophage’s ability to infect E. When proteins are the desired end result, the E. coli genome and let the E.
