In exchange, Editas has the exclusive right to be the first to negotiate for licenses to genome-editing inventions that arise from the sponsored research.
The approach generates a gRNA against a common genetic element called the flippase recognition target, making genome editing faster and scarless in E. coli.
By combining iPSCs, CRISPR gene editing, and transcriptomic approaches, researchers examined the effects of an Alzheimer's disease risk variant on brain cells.
The NMI Natural and Medical Sciences Institute at the university and its affiliate will use the patents to expand their cell-based research service offerings.
By using array-synthesized guide-donor oligonucleotide pairs, the team's gene editing technique allows accurate and detectable phenotyping in yeast cells.
The company — which was cofounded by David Liu, Feng Zhang, and Keith Joung — has licensed base editing technology from Harvard and the Broad Institute.
