(NASDAQ: CDXS), a leading enzyme engineering company, today announced it has entered into an agreement with Roche for an exclusive, global license for the Company’s newly engineered double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) ligase for next-generation sequencing (NGS) library preparation and the Company’s EvoT4™ DNA ligase.
- REDWOOD CITY, Calif., Feb. 26, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Codexis, Inc. (NASDAQ: CDXS), a leading enzyme engineering company, today announced it has entered into an agreement with Roche for an exclusive, global license for the Company’s newly engineered double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) ligase for next-generation sequencing (NGS) library preparation and the Company’s EvoT4™ DNA ligase.
- This deal supersedes the prior exclusive license on the EvoT4™ DNA ligase.
- We are excited to collaborate again with Roche on this novel, dsDNA ligase.
- Compared to wild-type enzyme, the newly engineered dsDNA ligase is developed to higher ligation efficiency in shorter reaction times and higher library yields and complexity, with minimal substrate sequence bias.
