Genome Editing Tools: Beyond Discovery

Single B cell screening is a powerful and efficient strategy for generating antigen-specific monoclonal antibodies.

Super-resolution microscopy techniques have facilitated imaging some of the smallest cellular structures with amazing detail and have led to key discoveries in molecular and cell biology, immunology, and neurobiology. Now, there is an increasing need to bring this level of detail to rapidly-occurring cellular events.

Adeno-associated viral vectors are essential tools for delivering gene therapy to patients and are usually manufactured using plasmid-based approaches. However, there are challenges with working with plasmids on a large scale, including consistency and scalability.

Join Dr. Karl Dawson, vice president and chief scientific officer at Alltech, as he explains the effects of diet and nutrient interactions on digestive health. Due to the new awareness of the role that gastrointestinal microflora play in overall health, new nutritional strategies that influence microbial balance have emerged. Many are based on simple supplementation or diet changes, but their effects can be profound. These approaches are revolutionizing the way we view not only our gastrointestinal health, but that of our animal companions.
