NEW YORK, May 12, 2021 A new Computer Aided Design (CAD) platform for whole genome design is being launched by two pioneers in the world of biotech:
Genome Project-write (GP-write) and
Twist Bioscience
(NASDAQ: TWST). The technology is expected to open up new frontiers in genome research with real world applications to advance development of therapeutics and solutions for environmental health.
The CAD technology will be an important development along the path to more facile writing of genomes, by eliminating a host of barriers that hinder genome design. Current platforms can be limited to small-scale changes in bacterial systems. The GP-write CAD will allow scientists to scale to other species with larger genomes. It will also automate workflows to enable collaborative efforts critical for scale-up from designing plasmids (kilobases) to whole chromosomes (megabases) across entire genomes (gigabases). ....
