February 2020—Qiagen introduced QIAseq Multimodal Panels, which offer a consolidated workflow to enrich DNA variants, RNA fusions, and gene expression levels from a single sample, with input as low as 10 ng of total nucleic acid. It reduces the workflow to approximately nine hours, the company reports, by eliminating the need for two workflows from separate DNA and RNA samples.
February 2020—Codexis, a protein engineering company, announced a license agreement to provide Roche with its EvoT4 DNA ligase high-performance molecular diagnostic enzyme. The enzyme was developed using Codexis’ CodeEvolver protein engineering platform and is expected to be incorporated into Roche’s next-generation sequencing library preparation kits and other sequencing products. The license grants Roche worldwide rights to include the EvoT4 DNA ligase in its nucleic acid sequencing products and workflows.
February 2020—Curetis announced it has received FDA 510(k) clearance to market its Unyvero LRT Lower Respiratory Tract application cartridge for use with bronchoalveolar lavage samples to diagnose lower respiratory tract infections such as pneumonia.

Features of the website are improved navigation, including sophisticated gene-based search capabilities and advanced filtering, an intuitive, streamlined purchasing and quotation system, and comprehensive technical support and educational content.
February 2020—Roche and Sarepta Therapeutics signed a licensing agreement providing Roche exclusive commercial rights, outside the United States, to SRP-9001 (AAVrh74.MHCK7.micro-dystrophin), Sarepta’s investigational gene therapy for Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Under the terms of the agreement, Sarepta will receive an upfront payment of $750 million in cash and $400 million in equity. In addition, Sarepta is eligible to receive regulatory and sales milestones, and royalties on net sales. Roche and Sarepta will equally share global development expenses. As part of the agreement, Roche also obtains an option to acquire ex-U.S. rights to certain future DMD-specific programs from Sarepta, in exchange for separate milestone and royalty considerations, and cost sharing.
