You've seen us talking about our recombinantly-generated product- if this is a new term to you, please read on! CEO & Chief Scientist Jennifer Watson explains: "Recombinant Technology is DNA that has been formed artificially by combining constituents from different organisms. In our case, we took the critical genes of the LAL cascade (horseshoe crab genes) and recombined them into a bacterial expression vector so that the bacteria could generate the gene products (proteins), rather than the crab. In our case, we'll have four bacterias, each one expressing a protein of the cascade, and recombine them to create the final rLAL product. Biohacking in a sense, making a bacteria create the horseshoe crab proteins." #biotechnology #lifescience #lifesciences #biomedicalscience #technology #technews #newtech #latesttech #latesttechnews #futuretech #innovation #techindustry #tech #biotech #savethecrabs

What is CRISPR/Cas9? Developed by the brilliants minds of Jennifer Doudna, Emmanuelle Charpentier👩🔬 and Feng Zhang, this technology serves as a precision tool for genome editing✂️🧬. Functioning like genetic scissors, its remarkable accuracy revolutionizes genetic engineering. This innovation enables the precise cutting and pasting of different genome segments, providing cells with new functionalities. The potential applications are vast—inserting genomes from other species, modifying or eliminating specific parts, or even synthesizing custom orders for genome insertion🤯. At Alora🌾, we embraced a unique approach. Rather than adding interesting parts to rice, we uncovered that the rice genome inherently codes for salt resistance, albeit inactivated. By unlocking this potential through CRISPR, we made rice salt-resistant. Our product is non-GMO, as it's an integral part of the rice genome!💪 #CRISPR #Genome #Biotech #Sustainability

This week I was reading a topic , which I thought would be nice if I share it with you all This is very easy yet interesting topic . The topic is Plasmid. Here's a simple explanation of a plasmid: - Plasmids are tiny, circular pieces of DNA found alongside the main chromosomal DNA of an organism. - They can carry extra genes that provide beneficial traits, such as antibiotic resistance or the ability to produce useful proteins. - Scientists frequently use plasmids as tools in biotech research to manipulate and transfer genes between different organisms. - This manipulation allows researchers to give bacteria a boost, enabling them to accomplish remarkable tasks. - Plasmids play a crucial role in advancing biotechnology by facilitating genetic modifications and enhancing the capabilities of microorganisms. - #BiotechBasics #DNA #ScienceExplained
