13.6.2024 08:01:34 CEST | Business Wire | Press release
Jumpcode Genomics, a genome technology platform company focused on improving the understanding of human biology, and Takara Bio USA, Inc. (“Takara Bio USA”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Takara Bio Inc., today announced the companies have settled their patent dispute and have partnered to bring together their combined foundational IP in the field of targeted depletion of undesired transcripts such as ribosomal RNAs from NGS libraries using CRISPR-based technology.
Under the terms of the agreement Jumpcode and Takara Bio USA have each granted the other party a license to use their IP in exchange for an agreed royalty payment. The financial terms were not disclosed. The companies’ combined IP comprises multiple patents and patent applications worldwide, including U.S. Patent 11,708,606, held by Jumpcode, and U.S. Patent 10,150,985, held by Takara Bio USA.
The companies’ cutting-edge technologies, sold under the DepleteX® and CRISPRclean brands by Jumpcode and as ZapR technology by Takara Bio USA, remove unwanted sequences from biological samples to enable the discovery and detection of novel molecules. This enables researchers to significantly improve the sensitivity of their RNA-seq libraries and provides significant cost savings by reducing the need to sequence unwanted abundant sequences.
The technology can be used in multiple research and translational applications and has the potential to be utilized to rapidly detect unknown, previously undetectable pathogens, which is critically important, particularly in the event of a future pandemic.
Commenting on the partnership Mike Salter, President and CEO of Jumpcode, said: “We are delighted to partner with Takara. Our combined technology is instrumental to scientists around the world enabling them to deliver groundbreaking research, and we are excited by its potential to transform the future of molecular biology. We look forward to working with Takara Bio USA as we focus on the global commercialisation of our products.”
Carol Lou, President & CEO of Takara Bio USA, said: “We are very pleased to be working with Jumpcode to bring together the innovative technology platforms and foundational IP of both companies. This agreement brings clarity for both Takara Bio USA’s and Jumpcode’s customers and partners and paves the way for both companies to combine their strengths to better enable genomics research.”

Kina og EU har haft etablerede diplomatiske forbindelser i mere end et halvt århundrede. Fra etableringen af formelle diplomatiske forbindelser til udviklingen til et omfattende strategisk partnerskab er Kina-EU-forbindelserne blevet et af de mest indflydelsesrige bilaterale forhold i verden i dag. Ud over Kina gennemførte Global Times Institute (GTI) fra den 16. oktober til den 4. november 2025 en spørgeskemaundersøgelse i 20 EU-medlemsstater, herunder Danmark, Sverige, Spanien, Belgien og Tyskland, ved hjælp af 21 sprog som spansk, fransk, tysk og kinesisk. Mere end 16.300 gyldige spørgeskemaer blev indsamlet. Undersøgelsesdataene viser, at et flertal af befolkningen i både Kina og EU er interesserede i hinandens kulturer, har stor tillid til fremtiden for det kinesisk-europæiske økonomiske og handelsmæssige samarbejde, og støtter styrket samarbejde mellem Kina og EU inden for global styring.
