SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 31, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Benchling, the next-generation life science R&D software company, today announced the release of its Molecular Biology 2.0 system, an unprecedented extension of its existing molecular biology suite to power high-throughput sequence design for DNA, proteins, and CRISPR. Molecular Biology 2.0 incorporates batch sequence design, CRISPR design, and cloning software, as well as full-fledged protein design and alignment tools, with the Benchling platform's natively integrated bioregistration system and lab notebook. For more information on Benchling's platform, or a tour of the software, please visit https://benchling.com/enterpriseMolecular Biology 2.0 brings the unique biological contextualization afforded by the Benchling Bioregistry to high-throughput molecular biology work conducted by industry scientists. This allows for intelligent linkages between plasmids, protein sequences, and the parts they encode and offers transformative functionality for many areas of drug discovery, such as immunotherapy, gene therapy, synthetic biology, and antibody discovery. In antibody discovery, for example, this allows a scientist to create a plasmid encoding for a heavy chain, define a field on that plasmid that links to a protein sequence for the heavy chain, and apply a constraint to confirm that the amino acids linked to are a translation of that region of the plasmid. Combined with Molecular Biology 2.0's batch sequence design and cloning tools, which allow scientists to design sequences and, in an industry-first, translate protein chains in batch, Benchling has effectively created the first ELN-based batch antibody engineering tool.
