ATCC and Synthego Alliance

Combining the power of gold-standard biomaterials with state-of-the-art gene editing

ATCC and Synthego have entered a strategic alliance to create customized cell models by combining high-quality CRISPR gene-editing services from Synthego with gold-standard, authenticated cell lines from ATCC.

Synthego’s CRISPR platforms leverage an integrated approach to genome editing that combines machine learning, automation, and extensive expertise to deliver high-quality, consistent results at an unprecedented scale. The combination of ATCC's broad selection of high-quality cells and Synthego's Engineered Cells allows researchers to confidently generate assay results and increase their speed to critical data with genome-edited cells in as little as 3 weeks.

What is CRISPR gene editing?

CRISPR is a powerful gene-editing technology that enables scientists to make complex gene edits such as engineered point mutations and gene fusions with more precision, efficiency, and flexibility than ever before. This technology uses a nuclease protein that carries with it an interchangeable short RNA molecule known as guide RNA. The guide RNA directs the nuclease protein to the gene of interest then the nuclease protein cuts the DNA. The cell then tries to repair that damage; during that repair process, the gene sequence at that location can be changed.
