About LineaRx
LineaRx seeks to commercialize the biotherapeutic value of Applied DNAs deep expertise and experience in the design, manufacture and chemical modification of DNA by large scale polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Linear DNA is a form of DNA distinct from the circular form of DNA most commonly produced in plasmids and grown in bacteria. Plasmids are extrachromosomal DNA found in bacteria and are associated with the genes for antibiotic resistance which are often exchanged between bacteria and consequentially, are seen by many to embody a serious threat to global health. In addition, many nucleic acid-based therapies also rely on viral vectors for efficient transfection and expression of plasmid DNA. These viral vectors carry additional nontrivial risks and are extremely time consuming and expensive to manufacture. LineaRx is also developing a liquid biopsy form for isolating metastatic cells from blood.
