Validation of a fully integrated platform and disposable microfluidic chips enabling parallel purification of genome segments for assembly.
Recent progress in the field of genetic engineering has opened up the door to novel synthetic biology applications. Microfluidic technology has been emphasized as a key technology to support the development of these applications. While several important synthetic biology protocols have been developed in microfluidic format, no study has yet demonstrated on-chip error control. In synthetic biolo...
متن کاملParallel gene synthesis in a microfluidic device
The ability to synthesize custom de novo DNA constructs rapidly, accurately and inexpensively is highly desired by researchers, as synthetic genes and longer DNA constructs are enabling to numerous powerful applications in both traditional molecular biology and the emerging field of synthetic biology. However, the current cost of de novo synthesis-driven largely by reagent and handling costs-is...
متن کاملAccurate High-throughput Gene Synthesis Using Programmable Microfluidic DNA Microchips
Testing the deluge of hypotheses flowing from genomics and systems biology demands accurate and costeffective gene and genome synthesis. Here we describe a microchip-based technology for multiplex gene synthesis. Pools of thousands of "construction" oligonucleotides and tagged complementary "selection" oligonucleotides are synthesized on photo-programmable microfluidic chips, released, amplifie...
