Acrigen Biosciences develops novel high precision gene-editing systems. The company seeks to identify and develop next-generation CRISPR-Cas nucleases using its proprietary AcrTAIN™ bioinformatics discovery software platform. The company also develops its proprietary ErAcr proteins - Engineered Recombinant Anti-CRISPR proteins - that selectively inhibit off-target editing. The company raised seed funding in September 2021.
