1. Broadband DNA Synthesis

This article gives readers a glimpse into the DNA market and the hurdles associated with traditional DNA cloning. It will guide readers through Twist Bioscience’s novel method of DNA synthesis and how it differs from classical methods. Broadband DNA synthesis will be extremely valuable to the field of synthetic biology as a whole.

2. Engineering Genes with CRISPR-Cas9

Engineered CRISPR-Cas systems allow scientists to make programmable, precise edits to DNA with the potential to cure human diseases and transform agriculture. CRISPR-Cas9 has emerged as a powerful new gene-editing tool. However, the CRISPR technology has also proved controversial. Here, we explain what CRISPR is, how it works, and why it’s revolutionizing biotechnology.

3. Biomass to BDO (1,4-Butanediol) Platform

This article will guide readers through Genomatica’s biomass to BDO platform, giving insight into how it could replace traditional petrochemical processes, and close with how the company is enhancing or scaling up the platform.
