linDNA is an optimal IVT template for mRNA production as compared to plasmid DNA (pDNA). Produced by the LinearDNA platform, a cell-free enzymatic manufacturing platform for the large-scale production of high-fidelity DNA sequences for use in nucleic acid-based therapeutics, linDNA enables:

A simplified IVT workflow as compared to pDNA;
IVT from linDNA potentially requiring less DNA than IVT from pDNA to achieve equivalent RNA yields;
The production of difficult DNA sequences, such as precise poly(T) tails in IVT templates;
The removal of the problematic DNA sequences found in pDNA, such as antibiotic resistance genes; and,
Rapid scalability in a minimal footprint.
"Current IVT mRNA production methods must improve to move mRNA technology to broader commercialization to support therapeutic and vaccine development. As process yields and production scale have an impact on the manufacturing costs and consequentially on the cost per dose, we believe that linDNA’s numerous advantages over current pDNA as an IVT template can help solve many of the challenges currently experienced by mRNA developers and manufactures," stated Dr. Hayward.
