BiotechnologyActive Motif and EpiCypher Execute Cross-Licensing Agreement and End Ongoing Litigation Involving Targeted Transposition/CUT&Tag Technology for Epigenomics
CUT&Tag is a targeted transposition technique that allows high-resolution genomic mapping of histone modifications and chromatin-associated proteins through the precise insertion of DNA sequences into the genome using the Tn5 transposase enzyme. EpiCypher and Active Motif each own or control patents covering complementary aspects of targeted transposition. Active Motif and EpiCypher have leveraged their respective IP to independently create successful genomic mapping tools that allow researchers to employ targeted transposition / CUT&Tag for advanced epigenomics...
