CORALVILLE, Iowa — (Sept. 13, 2022) — Bolstering its commitment to providing researchers with powerful tools to discover more about biology and advance medicine, global genomics solutions provider Integrated DNA Technologies (IDT) is expanding access to its customization options for the Alt-R™ Custom CRISPR gRNA Libraries.
Designed to help accelerate high-throughput drug discovery and functional genomics projects, IDT’s CRISPR gRNA libraries offer dozens of custom design and formulation combinations to provide customers with enhanced CRISPR screening solutions. The custom arrayed synthetic gRNA libraries are chemically modified on IDT’s proprietary, high-fidelity RNA synthesis manufacturing platform with dedicated support from a team of CRISPR specialists who provide support to customers in the design-through-analysis phases of their early CRISPR screening experiments.
“With CRISPR screening emerging as a productive and promising tool for drug discovery, our goal for widening access to our customization offerings was to leverage our decades of experience creating high-quality RNAs to enable a broader range of researchers to accelerate their drug discovery projects and isolate critical targets sooner,” said Mark Behlke, chief scientific officer at Integrated DNA Technologies. “The customization we offer underscores our 35-year history of equipping researchers with the right tools when they need them. Through collaborations that we have built with leading researchers, along with our own experience building a wide variety of libraries and deep bench of CRISPR experts, we believe customers can rely on IDT for all their needs across the CRISPR modification pipeline.”
CRISPR Library Customizations to Fit a Variety of Drug Discovery Projects
IDT’s Alt-R Custom CRISPR gRNA libraries are available for all CRISPR nucleases, including Cas9, Cas12a, Cas13, prime editing enzymes, and other alternative systems. Libraries are available in a range of sizes and plate formats that integrate with a variety of automation platforms. Customization options and other product benefits include:
