Varigen Biosciences is developing new types of products for the sequence specific capture, amplification, sequencing, and over expression of long DNA (20-150 Kb) dramatically to simplify the production of natural products. The effort is to harness the naturally occurring variety of microbial life present in soil and other environments to develop improved enzymes, cultures and drugs. The science of metagenomics -- tapping into natural biodiversity using genetic methods -- has led to unprecedented discoveries about microbiomes associated with humans and other habitats. Varigen Biosciences uses and improves upon this wealth of biodiversity using proprietary methods to create novel VARIants that have beneficial applications for medical, agricultural and industrial use.
