Time: 12.05 pm - 12:30 pm CET
Location: Delivery & Discovery Stream, RNA Leaders Europe
Title: Plasmid DNA and Direct RNA Sequencing for mRNA QC
Description:
• Current mRNA characterization uses testing methods which require large capital investment, a considerable workforce, can be slow and cumbersome and do not always analyse the native molecule
• Explore rapid comprehensive Oxford Nanopore Technologies based CQA testing pipeline extending from the plasmid identity to the drug substance (mRNA) and drug product (mRNA) can complement state-of-the-art techniques by providing an orthogonal analysis while addressing current bottlenecks
• Direct RNA chemistry enables sequencing RNA transcripts without the requirement of first converting to DNA, nor the need for PCR amplification
• Specific basecallers for transcripts containing RNA modifications, including N1-methyl-pseudouridine, which is relevant to mRNA production, and poly(A) tail length estimation
