Overview Service Process Examples and Solutions Frequently Asked Questions

Overview

Pichia pastoris, a methylotrophic yeast, is renowned for its ability to grow to high cell densities and perform post-translational modifications similar to those in higher eukaryotes. Our genome editing services leverage advanced genetic engineering techniques, such as CRISPR/Cas9, TALENs, and ZFNs, to deliver high-quality, custom-engineered genetic modifications in Pichia pastoris.

Service Process

The process of Pichia pastoris genome editing involves several critical and interrelated steps:

Project Consultation: Collaborating with researchers to define specific genome editing goals, including target genes, desired modifications, and intended applications.
Editing Tool Design and Construction: Designing and constructing appropriate genome editing tools (CRISPR/Cas9, TALENs, ZFNs) tailored to the specific DNA sequences of the target genes.
Vector Construction: Building expression vectors that deliver the editing tools and any desired genetic material into Pichia pastoris cells.
Yeast Transformation: Introducing the editing constructs into Pichia pastoris cells using techniques such as electroporation or lithium acetate transformation.
Selection and Screening: Selecting successfully edited cells using selectable markers and screening for desired genetic modifications using assays such as PCR, sequencing, and functional assays.
Validation and Characterization: Validating the edited cells to confirm the presence and functionality of the genetic modifications. This includes growth assays, gene expression analysis, and phenotypic characterization.
Optimization and Scale-Up: Refining the genome editing process based on initial results and scaling up production to meet the required quantities for research or commercial use.
Reporting and Consultation: Providing a detailed report of the findings and offering further consultation to interpret the results and plan subsequent research steps.
