Drosophila melanogaster is an organism well-established in genetic research and is also considered a potential system for synthetic glycobiology engineering. D. melanogaster engineering is an emerging field that leverages advances in molecular biology, metabolic engineering, and genomics to produce desired glycan structures in a controlled and predictable manner. The specific glycans and glycoproteins required for research are produced by modifying metabolic pathways involved in glycan formation.

• D. melanogaster Chassis Strain Development Service at CD BioGlyco

  CD BioGlyco provides Chassis Strain Development Services and creates efficient and stable chassis strains for clients through precise control of gene editing technology. D. melanogaster chassis strain development service is dedicated to the development and optimization of D. melanogaster chassis strains suitable for specific glycobiological studies. Chassis strains are the basis for gene editing and metabolic engineering, and their stability and genetic background are crucial to subsequent experimental results.

• Gene editing: Gene editing technologies such as CRISPR-Cas9 are used to perform necessary gene editing on chassis strains to introduce or delete specific metabolic pathways or genes.

• Metabolic engineering: Metabolic engineering modifications are performed on chassis strains to optimize their glycan metabolism pathways and increase the production of target glycans or glycoproteins. Key metabolic pathways that can be modified in D. melanogaster include the Hexosamine biosynthesis pathway (which produces precursors of N- and O-glycans) and the fucosylation and sialylation pathways (produces the glycan residues frequently found in complex type N-glycans).

• Stability test: We conduct a stability test on the modified chassis strain to ensure that it maintains stable genetic characteristics during the experiment.

• D. melanogaster Chassis Strain Screening Service at CD BioGlyco

  CD BioGlyco provides Chassis Strain Screening Services, relying on advanced screening technology and rich experience to help clients quickly find the optimal chassis strain. The chassis strain screening service is designed to select the most suitable strain for a specific glycobiology study from multiple candidate chassis strains.

• Candidate strain collection: We collect multiple D. melanogaster chassis strains with different genetic backgrounds and metabolic properties.

• Preliminary screening: Through in vitro experiments, chassis strains with potential research value are initially screened.

• In-depth evaluation: An in-depth genetic, physiological, and metabolic evaluation of the initially selected chassis strains is performed to determine their suitability for specific glycobiological studies.
