A bit of history–did you know that…

Allele Biotech obtained 5 NIH grants in its first three years since establishment. As a matter of fact, Allele Biotech was funded entirely by NIH grants

Allele filed its first patent application in its second year of operation, which was on DNA-driven RNAi and resulted in an outlicensing deal with Promega. As result of the applications, Allele has received 3 US patents on DNA-encoded shRNA, siRNA using promoters such as U6 and H1.

During the past 10 years, Allele was the first to sell U6-based RNAi vectors, the only supplier of bFGF-expressing feeder cells for iPSC, most likely a top 3 provider of baculovirus expression systems, camelid antibody products, iPS creating viral particles, and the most active commercial developer of fluorescent proteins.
