London UK: Desktop Genetics Ltd., a software company revolutionizing the way researchers use CRISPR genome editing technology, announced today that it has entered into a collaboration agreement with Vectalys SAS and Horizon Discovery Group plc (LSE: HZD), to design, produce and commercialize custom-made CRISPR lenti-gRNA libraries. The agreement will provide customers with access to fully licensed lentivirus and CRISPR libraries designed for their specific experiment and cell line. The libraries will allow researchers to perform precise edits to the genome of cells, including a variety of cell lines that might otherwise be out of reach with standard CRISPR delivery methods. Incorporating Desktop Genetics’ expertise in gRNA library design and selection, the customized libraries are predicted to generate fewer off-target events and therefore improved accuracy of results.

Under the terms of the agreement, Desktop Genetics will provide its experience and expertise in CRISPR guide library design and method
