CRISPR-based genome engineering has the potential to accelerate discovery. Unfortunately, current approaches suffer from limitations in scalability, diversity of edit types, and accessibility. The OnyxTM, a benchtop genome engineering platform overcomes these limitations by providing the capability to generate up to 10,000 precisely edited and trackable strain variants in E. coli or up to 6,000 such variants in S. cerevisiae, in a single run. This enables novel approaches to engineering of gene, pathway, and genome-wide targets in S. cerevisiae and E. coli. The platform simplifies the complex editing workflow, from design to engineered cell library, by including software, reagents, benchtop instrument, and analytics.

This talk will highlight the technology and diverse applications including high-throughput target discovery, metabolic engineering, and accelerated protein production & optimization. The OnyxTM platform will usher in the next era of genomics, enabling the researcher to transition from observational to interventional approach. This will have far-reaching benefits for biology, bio-industrial science, agriculture, healthcare, and alternative energy.
