about our technology
Unlocking the Power of the Gene
The prospect of preventing and curing disease, feeding a hungry planet and improving the health, longevity and livelihood of every person on the planet is thrilling, yet daunting.
Through gene editing (or genome editing), Recombinetics scientists are able to improve the genetics of animals by making precise changes to their DNA that unlock natural health and disease resistance traits. Our team of experts tirelessly and responsibly apply the science so we can realize this incredible potential.
In animal agriculture, we leverage the animal cell’s ability to repair its own DNA during the editing process.
In biomedical and regenerative medicine, our ability to introduce changes in animal DNA opens vast new opportunities to improve and extend human life.

Putting Our Knowledge to Work
Numerous technological advances over the last decade make it possible to modify animal genomes accurately and efficiently.
Recombinetics has developed the knowledge to develop and deploy a multitude of gene editing tools, including TALENs and CRISPRs, to help us intentionally cut the genetic code in the proper place and harness the cell’s DNA repair machinery to introduce the desired change in livestock and fish.

Ensuring Safe & Humane Treatment
Gene editing outcomes are tested at various stages along its development cycle from the first introduction into laboratory cells to the production of the animal.
Our research is overseen by a variety of governmental agencies, including the FDA and USDA, as well as non-governmental agencies to ensure our compliance with all state and federal/national policies, guidelines and industry best practices.
When working with international partners, we honor the laws and regulations of all countries where we do business. We take extraordinary measures to ensure the safe and humane treatment of the animals with which we work.

applications
Gene Editing in Biomedicine
Gene editing in biomedicine allows for more advanced animal models for studying human diseases and for testing and developing safer and more effective therapeutics.
Recombinetics deploys gene editing through three biomedicine subsidiaries:

applications
Gene Editing in Agriculture
Gene editing used in food animals enables improved animal welfare, lessened use of antibiotics and improved environmental stewardship through lower greenhouse gas outputs and decreased use of natural resources.
Recombinetics deploys gene editing in agriculture and aquaculture through its subsidiary Acceligen.
