The primary goal of modern drug research and development is to screen, determine, and prepare effective drug targets. CRISPR-Cas9 can efficiently and precisely edit genes in multiple types of cells and tissues. According to the most recent literature, gene editing technology based on the CRISPR-Cas9 presents great potential and prospect for the application in a series of drug targets screening.
By constructing a sgRNA library, Synbio Technologies can use lentivirus-transfected cells to screen the large-scale protein and its domain, all of which can play an important role in the process of disease occurrence and maintaining the cancer cell growth, survival, and development. Moreover, we can then combine this with NGS and data analysis, which is especially important for finding the right drug targets and developing new drugs, especially cancer treatments.
