Improving viral vector safety for gene therapies

Drug Discovery World

Following initial viral vector transduction, treated samples, typically whole blood and/or enriched cell populations, are collected and the genomic DNA is isolated. The enriched DNA is then sequenced. With this approach, high molecular weight DNA must be extracted from the treated samples, to ensure the best results.

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.
