Congrats to DNA Script on officially launching the SYNTAX System, a fully integrated, automated benchtop printer that synthesizes DNA oligos using enzymes. We’re excited to see the impact that printing oligos can make, from the lab to emerging disaster areas, maybe even the next pandemic. A shout out to the entire DNA Script team! Read more.
New Technology Could Unlock The Secrets Of Every Protein In The Body Nautilus Biotechnology, a life sciences company, is unlocking the
complexity of the proteome, which is the complete set of proteins expressed by an organism. Studying proteins creates opportunities to have a deeper understanding of the human body and diseases. It also makes finding the right biomarkers to detect health problems or diseases possible, so drug development is faster and more effective. P.S. You can hear more from Parag Mallick, co-founder and CSO of Nautilus on today’s Twitter show! Click here on your phone to

Mapping Gene Activity In Tissues Just Got Easier And Why It Matters For Space Travel Named the method of the year by Nature in 2020, spatialomics, also called spatially resolved transcriptomics or spatial transcriptomics, is transforming research in many areas, like cancer, neurology, and immunology. Now, 10x Genomics, a life science technology company, has announced a new way to study spatialomics in preserved tissue samples.
Biotechnology Is Replacing Petrochemicals With Identical, Sustainable Materials Genomatica, a biology company that is remaking everyday products through clean manufacturing, announced that a second commercial plant will be powered by its technology. Through a partnership, Cargill, a global food corporation, and HELM, a family-owned distributor and chemical marketing company, will invest $300 million to build the new plant.
Science News
Scientists at Oak Ridge National Laboratory have discovered a single gene that simultaneously boosts plant growth and tolerance for stresses such as drought and salt.
DNA-based circuits may be the future of medicine, and this software program will get us there faster. The program allows anyone without knowledge in chemistry to easily design DNA-based circuits.
Scientists from the University of Bristol have pioneered a new approach to help biological engineers both harness and design the evolutionary potential of new biosystems.
Funding News
Graphite Bio has filed to raise up to $100 million in an IPO. The money will support the development of gene editing drugs for sickle cell disease, X-linked severe combined immunodeficiency syndrome (XSCID) and Gaucher disease.
Codex DNA, creators of the BioXp™ system, a fully automated benchtop instrument that enables numerous synthetic biology workflows, announced the launch of its public offering of 6.7 million shares of its common stock.
