  • Publication number: 20230235318
    Abstract: Presented herein is a high-throughput (HTP) genomic engineering platform for improving the production of therapeutic proteins in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells. The disclosed HTP genomic engineering platform is computationally driven and integrates molecular biology, automation, and advanced machine learning protocols. The platform utilizes a unique suite of HTP genetic engineering tools to explore the genomic landscape associated with therapeutic protein production pathways, in order to unravel the biological drivers and disentangle the uncharacterized genetic architecture responsible for optimizing therapeutic protein production in CHO cells.
