To make the building blocks needed for DNA synthesis, the researchers flush nucleosides through the column, where they react with the bound phosphitylating reagent. The researchers used the ...

“Superficially, synthesizing DNA seemed solved ... a small number of high-yield oligos and PCR primers using column-based synthesis. But if you want to synthesize an array of low molecular ...

DNA synthesis data (red line) are available only for column-based synthesis instruments. The number of transistors per chip (Moore’s law) is shown for comparison. The graph uses the data ...

To put a number on it, traditional DNA synthesis machines can make one gene per 96-well plate; Twist’s machine can make 10,000 genes on a silicon wafer set the same size as the plate.

More deliver their innovation to the world. His latest solution? Enzymatic DNA synthesis. DNA writing is an aspect of our industry that I’ve been closely watching for several years because it is ...

Putting a DNA synthesizer on a glacier ... We hope you enjoyed “Overmatched,” a new column exploring how government-funded research could transform everyday life. Check back on PopSci+ ...

After decades of incremental improvements, the DNA synthesis space is finally on the verge of a significant leap forward. It’s high time – scientists have been stuck with the same old phosphoramidite ...
