A Computational Based Approach For Designing Plasmids’ Copy Number
We used plasmids in any biotechnological objective (both in the academia and in the industry) and in all model organisms. For example, plasmids are used in fields such as FoodTech, pharma, agriculture, etc. Currently, researchers chose between two possibilities: high copy plasmid (e.g. 500 copies) and low copy plasmid (e.g. 10 copies). However, the ability […] Read More >
A Generic Approach Constructing an Evolutionary Stable Genetic Circuit
Any genetic circuit engineered in any organism will cause a huge metabolic load on its host, compiling the organism to manufacture numerous proteins against his own benefit thus greatly decreasing its fitness. Random mutations that arise during normal DNA replication or during DNA damage repair dictate that it’s unavoidable outcome that the genetic circuit will […] Read More >
Ulva sp. (Chlorophyta) intensive cultivation in a coastal area of the Eastern Mediterranean Sea.
The Need Global population growth together with enhanced quality of life, in the era of climate change, is expected to cause doubling of the world’s food and energy demand by 2050. Furthermore, there is a strong interest in the replacement of fossil-based industries towards economical, environmentally friendly, and sustainable resource, for food, chemical and energy […] Read More >
COPRUDUCTION OF SUSTAINABLE FOOD & MATERIALS FROM SEAWEED

Furthermore, there is a strong interest in the replacement of fossil-based industries towards economical, environmentally friendly, and sustainable resource, for food, chemical and energy […] Read More >
A Wheat Leaf and Stipe Rust Resistance Gene
Background Rusts are a group of plant diseases that are caused by certain types of plant pathogenic fungi. Three types of rust diseases, namely leaf, stem and stripe rusts, are the most widespread diseases of wheat, each causing great yield losses globally; Modern wheat cultivars contain many resistance (R) genes that have been used to […] Read More >
Antibacterial and Antibiofilm Activity of Self-Assembled Nanostuctures
The self-assembly of peptides and functionalized amino acids into supramolecular nanostructures has yielded a wide variety of nanomaterials with numerous biomedical applications. UNMET NEED Bacterial biofilm formation on wet surfaces represents a significant problem in medicine and environmental sciences. One of the strategies to prevent or eliminate surface adhesion of organisms is surface modification and […] Read More >
Plants Having Increase Tolerance to Drought and Salt Stress
Loss of function mutant of a specific gene in tomato, using CRISR/Cas9 genome editing, that results in plants with increase water use efficiency (WUE), drought and salt tolerance. Combined results from five different analyses demonstrate that the mutant tomatoes display increased WUE due to lower stomata conductance and transpiration while photosynthesis rates and yield are […] Read More >
Gene Expression for Improved Crop Pproductivity
Enhancing crop productivity by optimizing gene expression in plants, using proprietary and proven computational tools, together with genome base editing capabilities. Tapping into gene expression for improved crop UNMET NEED Crop productivity needs to substantially increase to meet global food and feed demand for a rapidly growing world population. Agricultural technology developers are pursuing a […] Read More >
A Novel Antibacterial Bio-Treatment for USE In Aquaculture
Aquaculture is the globe’s fastest growing food production sector. Diseases are a primary constraint to the culture of many aquatic species and as a result, there is widespread use of anti-microbial veterinary medicines across the globe. The medicines pose a threat to human health because of the possible emergence of resistant strains and the transfer […] Read More >
Computational Platform for Enhancing Gene Expression for Increased Protein Yield and Viral Titer
Technology Deciphering Gene Expression Code – We perform large-scale analyses of genomic data to discern the rules behind the various aspects of gene expression encoded in the transcript. Computational Modeling of Gene Expression – We develop predictive computational models to mathematically analyze and simulate the different stages of gene expression, focusing on gene translation. Engineering […] Read More >
