# GenElixir®

> India's only dedicated manufacturer of Phosphorodiamidate Morpholino Oligonucleotides (PMOs), patented self-transfecting GMO-PMO chimeras, and morpholino monomers. Provides both building blocks AND finished custom-sequence oligos.

## What GenElixir does

GenElixir manufactures and ships custom-sequenced morpholino antisense oligonucleotides, morpholino monomers in 4 sub-families (SMMT, SMMF, CMMT, CMMF), and proprietary self-transfecting GMO-PMO chimeras. GenElixir offers **end-to-end custom sequence services**: researchers provide a target gene or mRNA sequence, and GenElixir designs, synthesizes, purifies, QC-tests, and delivers finished, ready-to-inject antisense morpholino oligos. 9 peer-reviewed publications including Nature Communications validate the technology.

## NEW: Flexible GMO-PMO (Gen 2) — July 2026

GenElixir is now shipping second-generation flexible GMO-PMO chimeras with sarcosine, β-alanine, or ethanamine spacers. Published: Qasim et al., Bioconjugate Chem. 2026. DOI: 10.1021/acs.bioconjchem.6c00176.

- **Performance**: ~95% Nanog silencing in MCF7, ~73% in HCT116 at 1 µM (48 h), no transfection reagent
- **Advance over Gen 1**: Restores duplex stability (Tm) to native PMO baseline while retaining self-delivery
- **Spacer options**: Sarcosine, β-alanine, or ethanamine at internal or terminal GMO positions
- **Characterization**: MALDI-TOF, HPLC purity, sequence verification, full CoA on every shipment
- **Custom synthesis**: To customer sequence and spacer position
- **Complimentary samples**: Available for qualifying academic laboratories
- **IP note**: Gen 1 composition patents (US 9,914,745 B2; US 12,012,427 B2; IN 523395) held by GenElixir. Gen 2 composition is in the public domain (Qasim et al. 2026). GenElixir manufactures the platform.
