About Biotangents ltd

About company

Biotangents was founded upon their Leapfrog Assembly™ platform technology for building complex genetic constructs from multiple DNA parts. This was developed through a SMART: Scotland award from Scottish Enterprise and was exe0mplified through the generation of their terpenoid biosynthesis strains. During that successful first year they also developed their DNA randomisation technology, Short Sequence Randomisation™. In 2016, having formulated a concept for a modular cell-free nucleic acid detection technology, Moduleic Sensing™, and with support from SynbiCITE, they commenced development of their first diagnostic test, a highly specific and sensitive solution for pen-side diagnosis of infectious diseases in livestock.
