🦠 Webinar On Demand: Unveiling the Secrets of Predatory Bacteria! 🦠 Discover the fascinating world of Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus, a predatory bacterium that invades and consumes other gram-negative bacteria from within. Join us for an insightful webinar where Dr. Simon Caulton from the University of Birmingham will reveal groundbreaking research on the molecular mechanisms of this unique bacterium. Learn about the newly identified mosaic adhesive trimers (MATs) and their role in bacterial predation. 🔬 In this webinar, you will: - Understand the significance of MATs for B. bacteriovorus. - Explore how these MATs were characterized using advanced structural and biophysical techniques. - Discover why Twist Bioscience Clonal Genes were crucial for this research. - Gain insights into how predatory bacteria bind to prey cells. 📺 WATCH NOW and dive into the world of predatory bacteria: https://lnkd.in/gtRRp8AD

RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) offers a powerful lens into gene expression, complementing DNA sequencing by revealing real-time dynamics of RNA transcripts. This evolving technology is pivotal in identifying diseases, tracing cell identity, and enhancing diagnostics. Explore the current state and applications of RNA-seq in our latest blog!

🎉 Announcing the expansion of our high-throughput antibody portfolio with the launch of a CHO cell line for Twist Express Antibodies! “With the majority of biotherapeutic drugs manufactured in CHO cell lines, expressing small-scale therapeutic antibody candidates in CHO for screening has become a vital first step to ensure successful downstream scale-up. We now provide a comprehensive portfolio of antibody production to further serve the biopharma market by offering both HEK293 with reduced turnaround times enabled by our Express Genes as well as the newly launched CHO cell line for Twist Express Antibodies,” said Emily Leproust, Ph.D., CEO and co-founder of Twist Bioscience. “By taking on the process of antibody development from sequence to protein, we meet the needs of therapeutic developers who currently make their own antibodies, a costly bottleneck in the discovery pipeline, providing them with a cost-effective, customizable, and scalable offering to support their research.” Twist Bioscience Expands High-throughput IgG Antibody Portfolio with Launch of CHO Express Antibodies: https://lnkd.in/gGh8nv4r #TwistBiopharmaSolutions #antibody #DNA

Announcing the newest addition to our portfolio of synthetic viral controls: RNA control for H5N1 Influenza A! NGS-verified, and covering 99.9% of hemagglutinin (HA) & neuraminidase (NA) genome regions. “As agricultural and infectious disease researchers around the world continue to monitor the spread of H5N1, we continue our unwavering commitment to responding rapidly to threats to public health by providing innovative and critical tools to safeguard our global community and enable monitoring and surveillance as well as vaccine and assay development,” said Emily Leproust, CEO and co-founder of Twist Bioscience. “Our synthetic controls, including the H5N1 Influenza A control, enable broader research access without the need for live viruses. This allows critical work to be conducted in BSL-1 labs, accelerating research and development efforts. Importantly, we maintain biosecurity as a core tenet across all our products and processes. By empowering global research with safe, synthetic tools, we're advancing science while upholding the highest safety standards.” Twist Bioscience Launches Synthetic RNA Control for H5N1 Influenza A: https://lnkd.in/gEsKJrVN

Evaluation of a targeted RNA sequencing workflow for variant calling from FFPE samples in NSCLC. In the oncology field, many research laboratories are moving beyond just interrogating the genome for mutational analysis and seeking more dynamic biomarkers. RNA-based workflows paired with analytical solutions for molecular analysis of tumor-derived samples provide a deeper understanding of tumor biology in the context of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

Thank you to the incredible organizers at Biodesign Challenge for an inspiring 2024 summit. Twist Bioscience has been a proud Biodesigned sponsor for years, and this year we were thrilled to present the Outstanding Narrative Award to the Maryland Institute College of Art for ‘Symbiotic Stitches.’ The team worked with mycelium, slime mold, and lichen to create a living quilt with self regenerating properties; focusing on the concept of care as resiliency within their community. Congratulations to the Top 8 finalists, Outstanding Prize winners, and the Grand Prize winner. Twist is honored to support Biodesign Challenge in their efforts to continue the dialogue of biotech, design, and innovation.
