Kraig Biocraft Laboratories Develops New Breakthrough Spider Silk DNA Synthesis Protocols Accelerating Time to Market for New Products

Kraig Biocraft Laboratories (OTCQB: KBLB) the leading developer of spider silk based fibers, announces today that its R&D team has achieved a major breakthrough in the construction of DNA encoding for spider silk proteins.

As quoted in the press release:

With this new capability the Company believes that it should be able to reduce the customization timeframe, for new spider silk technologies, by several months.

The new protocols were developed after Kraig Labs reached out to leading DNA synthesis facilities, which all stated that construction of the desired sequences would be practically impossible, due to the unique structure of spider silk proteins. Refusing to accept that answer, Kraig’s research team then took on the task directly.

Using a combination of distinct approaches, Kraig Labs successfully synthesized the highly complex set of spider silk protein construct designs. This new approach should accelerate the pace of its research and production rollout efforts, as well as reduce costs to develop new transgenics for new potential markets and applications.
