Novel and advanced traits: The Digest’s 2016 Multi-Slide Guide to Primordial Genetics

Primordial Genetics is a privately held company based in San Diego that is a leading provider of genetic and synthetic biology solutions for microbial improvement and protein engineering. The company’s ultimate goal is to be able to shape the genetics and characteristics of useful organisms and proteins rapidly and flexibly.

Function Generator platform genetic technology is broadly capable of developing novel and advanced traits in microbes used for the production of useful compounds ranging from fuels and chemicals to pharmaceuticals, therapeutic proteins and enzymes. The technology also represents a novel way for optimizing enzymes with higher catalytic efficiency, improved temperature tolerance, altered substrate specificity, and resistance to inhibitors.

CEO Helge Zieler presented this overview of the technology at ABLC Next in San Francisco.
