Locus Biosciences

Locus Biosciences` novel approach to precision antimicrobials works by taking advantage of an immune system present in many bacteria called the CRISPR-Cas system. The CRISPR-Cas system protects bacteria from invaders such as viruses by creating a small strand of RNA called a CRISPR RNA, which matches a DNA sequence specific to a given invader. If the CRISPR RNA is matched to a complementary DNA sequence, the Cas proteins will cleave the invading DNA.

Muse bio

Muse bio is transforming genome engineering by enabling, for the first time, high throughput massively-multiplexed CRISPR editing of proteins, pathways, and genomes. Through our powerful bioinformatics and novel molecular approach, ForgeCraft generates low-cost libraries of thousands of designer protein, pathway, or genome variants each with specifically defined, trackable mutations. This allows the impact of specific changes to be determined through rapid selection and high throughput screening allowing research timelines and costs to be reduced.
