KUALA LUMPUR, April 16 (Bernama) -- Taconic Biosciences has launched TruBIOME™, a first of its kind solution enabling the generation and maintenance of mice with custom microbiome profiles.
TruBIOME™ complements Taconic’s existing microbiome platform, which includes germ-free mice, germ-free derivations and custom microbiota associations.
The solution also includes the Taconic Microbiota Repository™, a collection of defined microbiome profiles.
Taconic chief executive officer, Nancy Sandy said the launch of TruBIOME™ gave researchers the ability to learn how microbial variability impacted their animal model experiments.
It was developed to meet the research community’s need for a microbiome solution that affords increased predictability, reproducibility and systems biology insight within mouse model use.
It is the maiden platform that allows researchers to develop models with customised microbiota profiles and then expand to produce study cohorts with similar microbiomes via natural mating, all while monitored with extensive quality controls.
Researchers conducting microbiome studies and those pursuing general drug discovery need to better understand the microbiome’s impact.
Understanding the microbiome will not only provide insight into potential confounding variables, but also could lead to identifying new drug targets.
