Gene editing has the potential to transform the lives of patients with previously untreatable conditions, offering hope for a better future. As the technology continues to advance, it is likely that we will see more breakthroughs in this field in the coming years, bringing us closer to a world where rare diseases are...
The use of E. coli cell banks poses some challenges and requires careful attention to quality control and quality assurance to ensure that the cells are of the highest quality and free from contamination or genetic mutations. Testing may include identity, purity, viability, characterization, and stability testing...
Regulatory agencies require companies using microbial cell lines that produce products for human use to regularly complete biosafety testing to ensure that cell banks are free of phage contamination. Bacteriophage (phage) is a virus that infects and replicates within bacteria1, basically bacterial predators. One hundred times smaller than a bacterium, phage are found wherever [...]
NGS represents a technological leap that has potential to revolutionize drug discovery and development. Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) has the potential to unlock causative factors from our genetic material. NGS also represents a technological advancement using array-based sequencing that will improve many aspects of scientific research and advance the field of personalized medicine. Because [...]
