When you think genetic engineering, you tend to think of large companies and well-funded research laboratories. But, with breakthroughs such as CRISPR becoming more common, smaller companies and teams now have the same access to the power of genetic engineering that once was only in the hands of these labs and big companies.
However, genetic engineering tools and equipment is still expensive. But, that was before the disruptive power of Snapshot came along.
Scarborough ...

Introduction
According to Genetic Disorders UK.org there are between 4,000 to 6,000 diagnosed genetic disorders ranging from common disorders such as sickle cell disease (1 in 500 africans) to more rare disorders such as lactate dehydrogenase A deficiency which has a prevelance of only 1 in 1 milion. Given the amount of potential disorders there is a push for more rapid yet accurate diagnosis for patients.

With new cutting edge pharmaceuticals relying heavily on recombinant proteins there has been a big push by bioprocessing companies to optimise and increase production of recombinant proteins. These proteins are typically produced in bacterial cells such as e-coli and for more complex proteins mamalian cell lines such as CHO.
However growing proteins in mamalian cells like CHO is challenging as they require optimal en...
