Abstract

De novo synthesized large libraries of nucleic acids are provided herein with low error rates. Further, devices for the manufacturing of high-quality building blocks, such as oligonucleotides, are described herein. Longer nucleic acids can be synthesized in parallel using microfluidic assemblies. Further, methods herein allow for the fast construction of large libraries of long, high-quality genes. Devices for the manufacturing of large libraries of long and high-quality nucleic acids are further described herein.

Claims (28)

1. A method for computer-assisted polynucleotide synthesis, comprising:

receiving instructions in a computer readable non-transient medium for synthesis of DNA sequences each having a full length sequence of at least 100 bases in length;

processing the instructions in a computer and transmitting synthesis instructions to a material deposition device, wherein the instructions provide for synthesis of a plurality of polynucleotides that encode for the DNA sequences; and

releasing synthesis reagents from the material deposition device to synthesize the plurality of polynucleotides, wherein 67% or more of the plurality of polynucleotides that are synthesized encode for the full length sequence of the DNA sequences compared to the DNA sequences received in the instructions in the computer readable non-transient medium without purification, and wherein the plurality of polynucleotides comprise a plurality of different nucleotide bases.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein at least 70% of the plurality of polynucleotides that are synthesized encode for the full length sequence of the DNA sequences compared to the DNA sequences received in the instructions in the computer readable non-transient medium without purification.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein at least 81% of the plurality of polynucleotides that are synthesized encode for the full length sequence of the DNA sequences compared to the DNA sequences received in the instructions in the computer readable non-transient medium without purification.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein at least 89% of the plurality of polynucleotides that are synthesized encode for the full length sequence of the DNA sequences compared to the DNA sequences received in the instructions in the computer readable non-transient medium without purification.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising performance of size selection to the plurality of polynucleotides, wherein the size selection is based on the DNA sequences received in the instructions in the computer readable non-transient medium.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the DNA sequences are cDNA sequences.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of polynucleotides comprises at least 5000 polynucleotides.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of polynucleotides comprises at least 10,000 polynucleotides.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of polynucleotides collectively encode for at least 500 genes.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the DNA sequences have a length of 100 to 300 bases.

11. The method of claim 1 , further comprising purification of the plurality of polynucleotides that are synthesized.

12. A method for polynucleotide synthesis, comprising:

receiving DNA sequences each having a full length sequence of at least 100 bases in length; and

synthesizing a plurality of polynucleotides encoding for the DNA sequences, wherein 67% or more of the plurality of polynucleotides that are synthesized encode for the full length sequence of the DNA sequences without purification, and wherein the plurality of polynucleotides comprise a plurality of different nucleotide bases.

13. The method of claim 12 , wherein the DNA sequences are cDNA sequences.

14. The method of claim 12 , wherein the plurality of polynucleotides comprises at least 5,000 polynucleotides.

15. The method of claim 12 , wherein the plurality of polynucleotides comprises at least 100,000 polynucleotides.

16. The method of claim 12 , wherein the plurality of polynucleotides collectively encode for at least 500 genes.

17. The method of claim 12 , wherein the plurality of polynucleotides collectively encode for at least 10,000 genes.

18. The method of claim 12 , wherein the DNA sequences have a length of 100 to 300 bases.

19. The method of claim 12 , wherein at least 70% of the plurality of polynucleotides that are synthesized encode for the full length sequence of the DNA sequences without purification.

20. The method of claim 12 , wherein at least 81% of the plurality of polynucleotides that are synthesized encode for the full length sequence of the DNA sequences without purification.

21. The method of claim 12 , wherein at least 89% of the plurality of polynucleotides that are synthesized encode for the full length sequence of the DNA sequences without purification.

22. The method of claim 12 , further comprising performance of size selection to the plurality of polynucleotides, wherein the size selection is based on the DNA sequences received.

23. The method of claim 12 , further comprising purification of the plurality of polynucleotides that are synthesized.
