PDF : DIY DNA Synthesizer Project
“Biology is largely about the manipulation, maintenance and transport of DNA.
Oligonucleotide synthesis is too complex and tiresome to make genomes by hand
…
Technical feasability has been proven by already existing commercial technologies, as well as next-generation platforms from academia.Material costs of these devices – under $5,000. Traditional synthesizers could be built cheaper.
Mail-order DNA synthesis companies have constructed a shared “harmful sequences” database.”
