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
