Aldevron, a global leader in the production of DNA, RNA and protein, together with Integrated DNA Technologies (IDT), a global leader in genomics solutions, announced the successful manufacture of the world’s first personalized CRISPR gene editing drug product to treat an infant with urea cycle disorder (UCD). With no current cure for UCDs, the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) and the University of Pennsylvania (Penn) engaged Aldevron and IDT, both part of Danaher Corporation (NYSE: DHR) to manufacture a novel mRNA-based personalized CRISPR therapy in six months—three times faster than the standard timeline for gene editing drug products.

Global genomics solutions leader Integrated DNA Technologies (IDT) is investing technological capabilities and resources to launch a new innovation hub and support the Bay Area biotech cluster. Located at IDT’s Redwood City site, in lockstep with its research and development (R&D) facility, the innovation nexus will serve as a collaboration center that enables IDT to innovate with regional customers, forge strategic partnerships, and drive R&D initiatives with leading-edge biotechnology companies.

Ahead of the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) 2025 Annual Meeting, global genomics solutions leader Integrated DNA Technologies (IDT) unveiled its xGen Hybridization and Wash v3 Kit, a newly designed target enrichment solution. The user-friendly workflow enables next generation sequencing (NGS) cancer researchers with an optimized approach for identifying variants and mutations, including rare variants, from low-input samples. xGen Hybridization and Wash v3 Kit features a high-performing, high-throughput workflow that eliminates heated buffers and reduces hands-on time by 20 percent. The one-hour hybridization step delivers high-quality results and enables users to get from sample to sequencer in a single workday. The Kit also supports library inputs as low as 100 ng to improve compatibility for challenging oncology research samples, and pairs effectively with xGen Predesigned or Custom Hyb Panels and xGen Blocking Oligos for a complete, automation friendly, high-quality target enrichment solution.

Global genomics solutions leader Integrated DNA Technologies (IDT) and Elegen, the leader in next-generation DNA manufacturing, are teaming up to offer IDT customers early access to Elegen’s ENFINIA™ Plasmid DNA, a long and high-complexity clonal gene synthesis service. Through this partnership, IDT early access customers will, for the first time, have access to a cost-effective solution for NGS-verified 5 kb to 15 kb clonal genes, shipped from Elegen’s U.S. facility, in as fast as 10 business days.

Global genomics solutions leader Integrated DNA Technologies (IDT) has appointed Ajay Gannerkote as president, effective immediately. With a track record of driving growth and transformation across myriad sectors—including pharmaceuticals, medical devices, imaging, and healthcare providers—Gannerkote will lead IDT and continue advancing its mission of accelerating the pace of genomics.

To enable pharmaceutical researchers to move quickly into their high‑throughput screening experiments, global genomics solutions provider Integrated DNA Technologies (IDT) today released rapid genes, a new offering in its synthetic biology portfolio. Available from 125 base pairs (bp) to 2000 bp, IDT’s rapid genes are ready-to-use, next generation sequencing (NGS)-verified clonal genes shipped in as little as five business days. Rapid genes are priced at $0.15 USD per bp and delivered in a plate format for automated workflows.

Integrated DNA Technologies (IDT), a global leader in CRISPR genome editing solutions, inked a licensing agreement with SeQure Dx, a company focused on off-target analysis for preclinical and clinical gene modification customers, bolstering IDT’s complete CRISPR portfolio comprised of world-class RUO to CGMP solutions from design to analysis. The licensing agreement enables IDT to support cell and gene therapy developers through all phases of their CRISPR-based therapeutic programs by providing comprehensive off-target analysis services, powered by SeQure Dx’s GUIDE-seq technology, alongside IDT’s award-winning rhAmpSeq™ CRISPR Analysis System.

Amidst growing concerns from U.S. federal, state and local agencies over Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) A (H5N1) detections in dairy cows, Integrated DNA Technologies today launched the Avian Influenza Type A (H5) Primers and Probe Set to enable researchers to identify, target, and trace the presence of clade 2.3.4.4b of the H5N1 virus across bird, environmental, dairy cow, and poultry farm samples. The new offering is available for online ordering through IDT’s Tech Access Program, which enables access to the most advanced research tools in development to accelerate innovation. IDT’s Avian Influenza A (H5) Primers and Probe Set is manufactured in a certified, template-free environment and includes an internal control to help confirm false negatives. An Avian Influenza Positive Sample Control is also available for purchase.

Global genomics solutions provider Integrated DNA Technologies (IDT) today announced the expansion of its synthetic biology operations with the opening of a new 25,000 square-foot-site in Coralville, IA. The two-story building will be dedicated to the manufacturing of IDT synthetic biology products, doubles IDT’s synthetic biology footprint, and enables IDT to further enhance its gene synthesis portfolio with differentiated offerings.

With a mission to accelerate the pace of genomics, Integrated DNA Technologies (IDT), a leading provider of differentiated next generation sequencing (NGS) solutions, announces the availability of xGen NGS products designed exclusively for the Ultima Genomics UG 100™ platform. The suite of new xGen NGS tools comprised of adapters, primers, and universal blockers can support a wide range of applications, including DNA, RNA and methylation sequencing workflows, as well as IDT’s proven hybridization capture chemistry.
