Today's DNA synthesis platforms are built on the same technology that was developed in the 1980s. But looks like enzymatic DNA synthesis is about to disrupt the industry, with companies like Molecular Assemblies leading the way.

: at that time, several academic labs and companies reported their first successes with enzymatic DNA synthesis. Its key component is an enigmatic enzyme called terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase . This enzyme has a unique ability to stitch together the four letters of the DNA code, or without a template, which is exactly what synthetic DNA manufacturing requires.

in 2020 to accelerate their move to market. And today, they are already shipping DNA to customers from their newly opened facility in San Diego.The company’s Fully Enzymatic Synthesis™ platform uses water-soluble, non-toxic reagents and requires minimal post-synthesis purification and processing.

“Our proprietary in-process product enrichment, which is a feature only accessible through enzymatic synthesis, means that we can eliminate post-synthetic purification and decrease turn-around-time to our customers,” Chief Scientific Officer Bill Efcavitch had statedScientists have been eagerly waiting for long synthetic DNA, and enzymatic technology is finally making their dreams come true. Just last week, Ansa BiotechnologiesThis is not just a technological achievement.

“Customers want application-ready DNA, unrestricted by length and sequence-complexity, which we know is essential to power new breakthroughs in scientific research and accelerate innovation for many industries, including next generation medicines and technologies,” said President and CEO Mike Kamdar in today’s press release.

With the Key Customer Program providing priority access to longer DNA oligos, researchers can already get started on those breakthrough projects.
