The site navigation utilizes arrow, enter, escape, and space bar key commands. Left and right arrows move across top level links and expand / close menus in sub levels. Up and Down arrows will open main level menus and toggle through sub tier links. Enter and space open menus and escape closes them as well. Tab will move on to the next part of the site rather than go through menu items.
We’ve all learned that any computer connected to the internet - wireless or not - can be hacked. The same is true of the scientific equipment you rely on to build DNA sequences for your customers.
Robust and effective screening programs are essential to efforts to thwart bad actors in the synthetic biology arena. Screening programs cannot function effectively without control lists.
Implementing and maintaining an effective screening program is more difficult than it seems. Running customer and sequence information through the screening process is just the first step.
DNA sequence screening needs to evolve into a system that can handle shorter sequences and provide more contextual information for both known and novel sequences of concern.
Is your screening system that good or are you just that lucky? Is your system flagging the sequences it needs to, or are some sequences slipping by undetected?
To celebrate Battelle’s 90th anniversary, we took the opportunity to speak to four retirees about their time at Battelle and their favorite accomplishments from their decades of work.
Sequence screening is an essential component of any biosecurity screening program. Two-hundred base pairs (bp) is the point where accuracy and cost are currently optimized.
Biosecurity sequence reference databases are essential and contain all published nucleic acid or protein sequences, whether or not they are potentially harmful.
Customer screening, flagging, and follow-up play essential roles in establishing the legitimacy of customers ordering synthetic dsDNA sequences. It’s not enough to merely flag a potential bad actor.
As libraries and museums around the country begin to reopen to the public, the need for safe handling of core library, archival and museum materials is increasingly urgent.
Biosecurity control lists name organisms that have the potential to pose a severe threat to public, animal, or plant health. Up-to-date control lists are essential to an effective screening program.
Students at Sisters High School in Oregon, are taking learning to new heights through an innovative STEM program in stratospheric ballooning with help from Battelle.
It’s an unsettling fact that the list of harmful pathogens (e.g. viruses and toxins) is not finite. This is clear because naturally occurring pathogens appear in our lives on a regular basis.
