Through this Article Collection, we hope to educate researchers on oligo pools and potential applications in functional genomics pooled screening and synthetic biology.
What you will learn about:
- Splicing assays in precision medicine
- Gene assembly using custom oligo pools
- Variant library construction for protein and enzyme engineering
More Information
Pooled oligo synthesis involves the massively parallel chemical synthesis of thousands of unique oligo sequences on a silicon-chip substrate. Once synthesized, the single-stranded oligos are released from the substrate and combined into a single library of custom oligo sequences. Oligo pools are cost-effective tools for generating the diverse synthetic DNA needed for high-throughput genomics screening and advanced protein and pathway engineering. Compared to traditional sources of custom synthetic DNA, pooled oligo synthesis provides more cost-effective methods of gene assembly, higher throughput, and more efficient genomics research in massively parallel reporter assays (MPRA) or pooled CRISPR screening. High-resolution DNA writing platforms offer researchers a powerful technology for custom synthetic DNA production bringing speed and scalability to almost any application.
