April 2014—Horizon Discovery entered into a collaboration agreement with Desktop Genetics for development of a CRISPR design platform. Horizon will use the platform to identify the best guide-RNAs in the human genome for each gene editing task, as part of its GENESIS suite of gene editing technologies.
Desktop Genetics will design and implement algorithms for the platform based on Horizon’s input and CRISPR knowledge. Horizon licensed the CRISPR gene editing technology from Harvard University in September 2013.
