- UK-based gene editing and gene modulation technologies company Horizon Discovery Group plc (LSE: HZD) has adopted its Edit-R crRNA libraries as part of UK-based drugmaker AstraZeneca's drive to establish a
functional genomics discovery platform, the company said.
Other topics include food formats for the effective delivery of probiotics, the genetics of yeast impacting wine quality, emulsion design to improve the delivery of functional lipophilic components, the genomic evolution of domesticated micro-organisms, glass transition temperature and its relevance in food processing, and
functional genomics for food fermentation processes.

The work has been led by researchers from the Australian Centre for Plant
Functional Genomics and the University of Adelaide's School of Agriculture, Food and Wine, in collaboration with scientists from the Department of Plant Sciences at the University of Cambridge, UK.
The goal of the company is to provide cutting edge technologies, including
functional genomics, for the accurate diagnosis of cancer patients and the personalized formulation of therapeutic strategies.

BMC Genomics is an open access journal publishing original peer-reviewed research articles in all aspects of genome-scale analysis,
functional genomics, and proteomics.
* in gene therapy (as well as
functional genomics), it facilitates design of vectors that are better targeted to specific sequences, which would be a significant advance in the art of transgenesis.
