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.
