DNA-based information is a new interdisciplinary field linking information technology and biotechnology. The field hopes to meet the enormous need for long-term data storage by using DNA as an ...

Gene and cell therapy is moving fast – and in a clear direction. Programs are pushing toward more complex payloads, virus-free engineering, and manufacturing models that can scale from early research ...

Astrivax BV has raised €30 million (US$30.1 million) in a seed round to take forward the development of a novel vaccine technology that combines a plasmid vector with a replication-competent virus.

Adeno-associated virus (AAV) vectors play a pivotal role in gene therapy, delivering therapeutic genes with high precision and safety. However, a significant challenge in the biomanufacturing of these ...

Microbial systems offer distinct advantages in protein expression, saving costs and time, and offering well-characterized host genetics and ease of scale-up. 2 However, challenges remain in process ...

Genes responsible for antimicrobial resistance (AMR) can spread from microbe to microbe through circular genetic material called plasmids, and this lateral transfer occurs in the gut. This week in ...
